In your garden, you noticed that the tomato plants did better on the north side of your house than the west side and you decided to figure out why. They wastes both planes with the same skill that provides adequate nutrients to the plant, and they are watered at the same time during the week. Over the course of a week, you begin to measure the amount of sunlight that hits each side of the house and determine that the north side gets more light because the sunlight is blocked by the house's shadow on the west side. What is the name of the factor in your observations that affected the tomato plants growth? The ________________ variable.
