Independent Variable
What the investigator varies in the experiment (for example, time, pH, temperature, concentration)
 
Procedure
Process used to measure the dependent variable
 
Level of Treatment

Dependent
What the investigator measures, counts, or records; what is being affected in the experiment.
 
Replication
