One example:
Janet makes a parachute. She recorded her information on this chart:
Trial #: Descending Time: Weight:
1 5 seconds 7g
2 3 seconds 9g
3 2 seconds 10g
4 9 seconds 3g
The manipulated variable is the weight. A manipulated variable is something you change.

It means that a variable is manipulated!(:
Yes, there is a variable that can be manipulated by the investigator. What that variable is depends on what the investigator is investigating and the variables that are available.
Fifteen turtles are fed iceberg lettuce and vitamins, while another fifteen turtles are fed only iceberg lettuce
A manipulative or manipulated variable in an experiment is the variable that can be varied to give different results during the course of an experiment. For example to determine how much sugar will saturate a liter of water, we keep increasing the amount of sugar until the water becomes saturated. Here sugar is the manipulated variable. Very easy! At first, I was confused with it too!
A variable means that something that you can change, measure, or keep the same. Example: Responding variable: The variable you can measure. Controlled variable: The variable you keep the same. Manipulated variable: The variable that you change.
In an experiment, the manipulated variable is also known as the independent variable. An example of the term "manipulated variable" in a sentence would be, "The scientist sincerely hoped that the manipulated variable would produce a reaction in the dependent variable."
There is no answer to a manipulated variable because "a manipulated variable" is not a question!
Manipulated variable is also known as Independent variable and is the factor that you change in an experiment. For example if you were measuring the effects of alcohol on driving ability the manipulated variable would be alcohol, either with or without alcohol.
A manipulated variable is also called an independent variable. It is the thing in an experiment you change or manipulate. For example, if i am doing an experiment to see how water affects the growth on plants, the amount of water is the manipulated variable.
No. A manipulated variable is the same as an independent variable.
operational definition of a manipulated variable
The manipulated/independent variable is a variable that changes and it is what the responding/dependent variable change because of the manipulated variable.
The dependent variable may change in response to the manipulated variable.

A manipulated variable is not changed on purpose.
The covered jar was the manipulated variable and the responding variable was the result: No maggots.
