Understanding Variables: A Guide to Dependent and Independent Factors

In scientific experiments, variables are crucial for understanding relationships between elements. We categorize them into two types: independent variables, which stand alone and aren't affected by others, and dependent variables, which change in response to independent variables. To grasp these concepts better, consider designing a creative poster. Use an 8.5 by 11-inch paper with at least four colors to illustrate your understanding of how these variables interact, providing contemporary examples to highlight cause and effect in everyday situations.
