IV & DV on Graphs
The IV is graphed on the X-axis
(If time is a variable, it is generally on the x-axis)
The DV is graphed on the Y-axis
3
The effects of absences on test scores
What is the IV?
Absences
What is the DV?

Multiple Choice
What is the IV and what is the DV?
IV: light intensity, DV: type of plant
IV: Color of light, DV: light intensity
IV: Color of light, DV: Rate of photosynthesis
IV: Light Intensity, DV: Rate of photosynthesis

Multiple Choice
Which is a possible hypothesis for this experiment?
If the intensity of the light increases, does the color change?
If the rate of photosynthesis increases, then the plants don't do photosynthesis
If the light intensity decreases, then the rate of photosynthesis decreases.
