In scientific experiments a variable is something which can vary or change.
A fair test is a controlled experiment involving an independent variable, a dependent variable and control variable(s).
A way to remember the rules for a fair test is Cows Moo Softly. This means Change one thing, Measure one thing, and keep everything else the Same.
The variable which we change is the independent variable because we chose to change it as the focus of an experiment.
The variable which we measure is the dependent variable because it depends on the independent variable.
Control variables need to kept the same to make it fair test.
(Design a fair test.) For example, experimenting with the baking of bread could become a fair test by making changes to the proportions or process.
(Write instructions with clearly defined variables.) This experiment
A hypothesis in a fair test can link the if with the independent variable and the then with the dependent variable.
A hypothesis isn't about being right or wrong but about proof and falsification.
