Now that I've got your attention, here is my question.
I'm doing my year 10 major science experiment(it's gonna count for most of my science grade) and I'm finding the grain preference of domesticated mice. So there's a wooden maze with 6 exits and mesh to cover the top (so the mice don't climb over the walls), at the 6 exits 6 different types of grains will be placed; there's 2 mice to test with and the test will be done using a stopwatch to time the mice while they make their way through the maze to reach their preferred grain. I stop the time when the mouse reaches its grain of choice.

NOW TELL ME WHAT THE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES ARE!

This project is due very, very soon. Please help me!

:)
 
Independent variable is the type of grain the mice choose. Dependent variable is the time it takes for the mice to reach the grain.

Yay! Good luck with your project.
 
Your dependent variable is your type of grain. Your independent is your breed of domesticated mouse. All the mice you use should be similar and comparable, otherwise your results will not be accurate.
