Question

1. for science class, joan watches a bird as it moves up and down in a tree over time. you could make a graph to represent the relationship between the birds height off the ground and time. if you made a graph, what variable would you put on each axis? explain your answers. independent (x - axis) variable: dependent (y - axis) variable:

Explanation:

The independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment. Time is often the independent variable as it progresses on its own. The dependent variable depends on the independent variable. The bird's height off the ground changes as time passes, so it is the dependent variable.

Answer:

Independent (x - axis) variable: Time.
Dependent (y - axis) variable: Bird's height off the ground.
