in this particular scenario, what is the (a) independent variable and (b) why?
a student wants to find out which paper airplane flew the farthest. they folded four different types of airplanes: the basic, the stable, the buzz, the sprinter. student then measured the distance of the airplane. (choose the 2 correct answers - one of the \a\ answers and one of the \b\ answers.)
a. different types of folds for each plane
a. distance plane flew
a. type of paper for each airplane
b. the result you measure at the end
b. what you intend to change on purpose at the start
b. experimental variables that are kept the same.

Explanation:

Question 3

• Independent variable: The independent variable is what is changed or manipulated in an experiment. Here, the student folds four different types of airplanes (different folds).
• Reason: The student intentionally changes the type of fold (different types of folds for each plane) at the start of the experiment to see its effect on the flight distance.

• Dependent variable: The dependent variable is what is measured in an experiment. Here, the distance the airplane flies is measured.
• Reason: The distance (the result measured at the end) depends on the type of airplane (the independent variable).

Answer:

A. Different types of folds for each plane; B. What you intend to change on purpose at the start
