1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the type of wood used – redwood, teak, black oak and red maple. The dependent variable is the change in each block of wood’s dimensions when exposed to room humidity and after they have been dried in the oven. This is determined by measuring the dimensions of the wooden blocks with a caliper.
