1. For this experiment, the independent variable is the number of plants planted in the pots. The dependent variable is the height of plants. This is determined by measuring the height of the plants in each pot and calculating the average height. The constants (control variables) are the size of the pot, the amount of soil and the type of plant used. 2. The 5 pots are filled with the same amount of soil. The garlic chives seeds are planted in each pot as described below. 3. The pots are labeled as pot A, pot B, pot C, pot ..... |
