In an experiment on fruit flies a scientist wants to know if the size of the
container effects the rate that the flies reproduce. The scientist uses a 0.5
liter container and a 1.0 liter container with an equal number of flies to
start. The scientist then waits for a week and records how many flies were
hatched in each container. All other aspects of the containers are kept the
same.(temperature, lighting, food, water) In this experiment, what is the
independent variable? What is the dependent variable? What are the
controls?
