Victoria is comparing laundry detergents. She set up an experiment to determine which detergent will be the most effective in removing stains from her clothes. Then she made a list of materials she will need to conduct the experiment.


List of Materials


cloth

mustard

containers for washing

laundry detergent A

laundry detergent B

measuring cups


Part A What is the independent variable in this experiment (what will she change)? What is the dependent variable?


Part B What variables should Victoria keep constant in her experiment? Explain why this is important

The independent variable would be the part of the experiment she changed (the laundry detergent), and the dependent variable is the part she kept the same (the cloth). 

She should keep the cloth type, amount of detergent, amount of mustard, and containers for washing the same, because keeping everything else the same is the only way to really know the effects of the independent variable (the type of laundry detergent) 

Hope this helps!
