Science Project Review...

  Control - what you are comparing your experiment to. Example - a plant that gets regular sun and water.

   Independent Variable - what you are testing. Example - instead of water, you will feed your plants with different types of energy drinks to see how they impact plant growth. You will make sure the plants get just as much sun as your control plant.

   Dependent Varible - what you are trying to find out. In this case, you want to measure the plant growth and then compare how the energy drink plants grew with respect to the control plant.
