What are the independent variables, dependent variables, and control in this experiment?

I'm doing an experiment about how different liquids behave. I am using colored water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. To sum it all up, I'm just adding water,oil, and corn syrup into a test tube and recording my observations. But the thing is, I have to figure out the independent variable, dependent variable, and the control. And I have absolutely no clue on how to do that. All answers are appreciated.What are the independent variables, dependent variables, and control in this experiment?
Independent Variables: Water, vegetable oil, corn syrup. These are the variables under your control.





Dependent Variable: Whatever you observing. What are the independent variables doing as a result of your treatment? Are you heating them and observing the temperatures at which the liquids start boiling? If so, the temperature at boiling would be your dependent variable.





Control: You haven't specified a control liquid. You might consider adding plain water as the control against which the independent variables are compared.





The easiest way to keep independent and dependent variables apart is to ';mind the D's';. Dependent variables generate the Data you will record.What are the independent variables, dependent variables, and control in this experiment?
It depends. What are you trying to see? What is the difference between the three liquids? The amounts? The sizes of the test tubes? Which one tastes better?





To identify the variables, you must describe the experiment more completely...
