A student hypothesises that seeds will germinate faster with more water. What will be the dependent variable in this investigation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Time taken by the seeds to germinate

A dependent variable is the outcome that is observed or measured in an experiment. Here, the time taken by seeds to germinate is measured after changing the amount of water, so option C is the dependent variable. The amount of water is the independent variable, while the type of seed may be kept constant as a controlled variable. Exam tip: identify what is changed as the independent variable and what is measured as the dependent variable.
