Learn how to identify independent variables, dependent variables, and controlled variables in scientific experiments. This interactive science lesson begins with a series of engaging card-based explanations that introduce the role of variables in experimental design. Learners then apply their knowledge through five hands-on drag-and-drop activities, analyzing real-world scenarios and correctly classifying each variable. Ideal for middle and high school science students, this activity helps build critical thinking and strengthens understanding of the scientific method.
