Plants

Jordan is doing an experiment on the effects of music on the growth of tomatoes. He has two plants, Plant A and Plant B. The plants get the same amount of water and light. Plant A is exposed to classical music using headphones in the soil. During the growth period Jordan counts the number of tomatoes produced. Plant A grew 35. Plant B grew 55. What is the independent variable?

• number of tomatoes grown

• classical music
