1. Smithers thinks that a special juice will Identify the:
increase the a. Control Group
productivity of =GROUP B
workers. He creates
two groups of 50 b. Independent Variable
workers each and =SPECIAL JUICE
assigns each group
the same task (in this c. Dependent Variable
case, they're supposed to staple a set of =STACK OF PAPER EACH
papers). Group A is given the special GROUP HAS MADE
juice to drink while they work. Group B
is not given the special juice. After an d. What should Smithers' conclusion be?
hour, Smithers counts how many stacks = THE SPECIAL JUICE THAT
of papers each group has made. Group GIVEN IS A MAIN REASON
A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made WHY AMMOUNT OF PAPERS
2,113 stacks. EACH GROUP ARE DIFFERENT

e. How could this experiment be


improved?

= MEASURE AMOUNT OF SPECIAL


JUICE GIVEN TO GROUP A

2. Homer notices that his shower is


covered in a a. What was the initial observation?
strange green =THE SHOWER IS
slime. His friend COVERED IN A STRANGE
Barney tells him GREEN SLIME
that coconut juice
will get rid of the Identify the:
green slime. b. Control Group
Homer decides to =THE OTHER HALF OF THE
check this this out SHOWER WITH WATER
by spraying half of the shower with c. Independent Variable
coconut juice. He sprays the other half =PRESENCE THE COCONUT
of the shower with water. After 3 days JUICE
of "treatment" there is no change in the
appearance of the green slime on either
side of the shower.
d. Dependent Variable

=AMOUNT OF GREEN SLIME


3. Bart believes that mice exposed to Identify the:
radiowaves will become extra strong. a. Control Group
He decides to perform this experiment =THE 10 MICE NOT EXPOSED TO
by placing 10 mice near a radio for 5 THE RADIO
hours. He compared
these 10 mice to
another 10 mice that b. Independent Variable
had not been exposed. =REDIOWAVE EXPOSURE
His test consisted of a
heavy block of wood
that blocked the c. Dependent Variable
mouse food. He found =ABILITY TO MOVE WOOD BLOCK
that 8 out of 10 of the
radiowaved mice and 7 out of 10 of the
other mice were able to move the block. d. What should Bart's conclusion be?
THE RADIOWAVE EXPOSURE
WOULDN’T WORK BECAUSE ONE
MOUSE IS NOT ENOUGH TO
CONCLUDE THAT IT WORKS
4. Krusty was told that a
certain itching powder e. How could Bart's experiment be
was the newest best thing improved?
on the market, it even =LONGER EXPOSURE
claims to cause 50%
longer lasting itches.
Interested in this product,
he buys the itching Identify the:
powder and compares it to his usual a. Control Group
product. One test subject (A) is b. =GROUP A
sprinkled with the original itching
powder, and another test subject (B)
was sprinkled with the Experimental c. Independent Variable
itching powder. Subject A reported d. =TYPE OF ITCHING POWDER
having itches for 30 minutes. Subject B
reported to have itches for 45 minutes.
e. Dependent Variable
f. =HOW LONG THE SUBJECT IS
5. Lisa is working on a ITCHING
science project. Her task
is to answer the question:
"Does Rogooti (which is g. Explain whether the data supports the

a. Describe how Lisa would perform this
experiment. Identify the control group, and
the independent and dependent variables in
your description.

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE – THWE
OTHERS ONE WOULD USE THE
