Well, in a science experiment, the manipulated variable is the one you change. Like, if I was doing an experiment on plants (why do people always talk about experimenting with plants?! Anyway…), I would change the amounts of water they get. That’s the manipulated (also called the independent variable.) The dependent variable is what happens because of the manipulated variable. So, if my plants grew a lot when they got a lot of water, then the dependent variable would be the amount they grew. I don’t know about respondable (respondible’s not a word) variables. Maybe they’re just another term for dependent variables (what happens in response to the manipulated variable.) Oh, was this for a MATH test?! If it was, sorry, and don’t put down my answer on your test!
