Which statement best describes an independent variable? a-the variable that responds to change in a investigation b- the variable you can change in an investigation c- the effect in a cause/effect relationship d- the factor that can never change in an investigation

The statement that best describes an independent variable is B. the variable you can change in an investigation. There can be only one independent variable during an experiment, because if you change more things, you won't know which variable it is that brought about the change. So, there is one variable that you change that doesn't depend on anything else and that you can alter in order to get the results you want.

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
