1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the type of soil used. The dependent variable is the amount of water retained in the soil. This is determined by measuring the water drained using the measuring cylinder and also checking the weight of the pot. The constants (control variables) are the amount of water used, the amount of soil used and the time taken for the water to drain from the soil. 2. The 3 pots are labeled A, B and C.
