Factors

It is important to point out that we are aware that there are multiple factors affecting our experiment. Although the independent and dependent variables are quite obvious there are a few underlying factors. The independent variable would be whether or not the student ate breakfast. The dependent variable would be the resulting test score(s). Some other factors that could affect the turn out of our experiment would include: the amount of sleep that the student got, the amount of time spent studying, and what the person ate for breakfast. How nutritional and balanced the breakfast consumed by a student would definitely be an important factor.
