A student tests 3 types of potting soil to see which one will grow the healthiest plants. He plants a grass seed in each type of potting soil and one in regular soil from his garden. He lets the plant grow for 3 months taking weekly measurement of height and records the information in a data table. What is the Independent Variable in this experiment?
The potting soil.
