Thursday/Friday: (Read and write/answer question in yellow)
A student wants to test if giving dogs a toy to play
with makes their tail wag more. He gives dog toys to
one group, while another group of dogs does not
get any toys. He counts the number of times each
dog wags their tail.
What is the Independent Variable?(tested) The
Dependent Variable?(measured)
Yes

I/V = giving the dogs toys

D/V =  how many times the dogs wag their tails

Explanation:

dependent variable DEPENDS on the independent variable. If he gave a dog a toy and their tail wagged, he made that happen by giving the dog a toy, which is the independent variable because he made that happen, by changing the circumstance aka the independent variable aka the toys!
