Dependent variable: The quality of banana bread

Control: All the factors are the same except for the number of bananas used, so that any observed changes in the bread can be attributed to the variation in the number of bananas. Constants: All the other ingredients to the bread recipe, oven used, rise time, brand of ingredients, cooking time, type of pan used, air temperature and humidity where the bread was rising, oven temperature

Materials: Modified Recipe

Conclusion

The outcome of the experiment was very similar to the prediction made at the beginning of the experiment. If you use more bananas to make the banana then the bread will be sweeter and softer. I learned the independent variable is the cause. Its value is independent in the experiment. The dependent variable is the effect. I also learned about the chemical composition of the food, and providing the people eating it with different opinions.
