You have designed an experiment to test whether kittens prefer skim or whole
milk. You hypothesize that the kittens will prefer the whole milk because of its
higher fat content. You put out 1 bowl containing water, 1 bowl containing
skim milk, 1 bowl containing whole milk for 5 kittens and leave them for 24
hours. The next day you measure the remaining fluid and find the following: -
Type of liquid
Starting Volume
Ending Volume
Water
400 ml
250 ml
Skim Milk
200 ml
25ml
Whole Milk
200 ml
75ml
Based on the experiment above, identify each of the following:
Independent variable type of liquid
Dependent variable ending volume
Control group
water
