Variables in an experiment

In Class 9 Science, within “Exploration: Entering the World of Secondary Science,” students learn how variables shape a scientific experiment. They distinguish the independent variable that is deliberately changed, the dependent variable that is measured, and controlled variables kept constant for a fair test. The topic develops skills in planning investigations, recording observations, comparing results, identifying patterns, and drawing evidence-based conclusions while recognising sources of error.
