Answer:
Independent Variable : type of insulator material used
Dependent Variable: temperature of water
Constants: Type of bottle used, volume of water in each bottle
Explanation:
In discussing any experiment, the important factors are; the independent variable(s), dependent variable (s) and constant (s).
In this experiment, the type of insulator material (wool, cotton and nylon) was manipulated and the temperature of water when each insulator is used was carefully measured. The type of bottle and volume of water in each bottle were held constant
The nature of insulator material (independent variable) determined the temperature of the water (dependent variable) when the type of bottle and volume of water in each bottle were held constant.
By comparing the temperature of water when the different insulator materials were used, the best insulator material can be deduced.
