Astudent conducts an experiment to determine how the amount of water given to a plant affects its growth. what is the independent variable for this experiment?

The independent variable for this experiment is "the amount of water given to a plant".

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A student conducts an experiment to determine how the amount of water given to a plant affects its growth. We need to find the independent variable for this experiment.

The independent variable is the variable that the experimenter changes or controls to test the dependent variable impacts.

A dependent variable is the variable that depends on the independent variable and that the experimenter is testing and measuring.

Here the experimenter can changes or controls the amount of water but he can not change the growth of plant.

Thus, the independent variable for this experiment is "the amount of water given to a plant".
