Imagine an experiment where I am testing the effects of salt on the growth of corn plants. I set up several treatments where some plants get no salt, some are watered with a 0.05% salt solution, and some are watered with a 0.1% salt solution. I use the same species of plants, the same soil, and the same total amounts of water in my experiment. Every other day I record the height of the plants in cm. What is the independent variable in my experiment? What is the dependent variable in my experiment? What is the control treatment in my experiment? What are three controlled variables in my experiment?
