I think what's missing is, "variable".

Explanation:

A dependent variable will change according to experiment conditions and is usually the result of a change in the independent variable. When graphing results, the X-axis is the independent variable, and the Y-axis is the dependent variable.
Say you want to measure how high different breeds of cats jump. "Breed of Cat" is an independent variable and is chosen by the you, the experimenter. "Height of Jump" is the dependent variable and changes according to cat breed.

I hope that helps!
