Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. Homer decides to spray half of the shower with coconut juice, thinking this will kill the slime. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of "treatment" there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.

A botanist wants to see how different colored light waves influence the growth of pea plants. She puts the same number of seeds into three identical pots with the same kind and amount of soil. She then gives them the same amount of water every three days for the length of the experiment. One pot is placed into a dark windowless closet. Another pot is left on the windowsill, and the third is placed under a lamp with a green bulb. She records the height of each plant every day for three months. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

A student planted the same kind of seeds in pots A and B. She planted five seeds in pot A and five seeds in pot B. The amount and type of soil in both pots was the same. She added the same amount of water to both pots each week. Pot A was placed in a sunny window. Pot B was placed in a dark room. After four weeks, she observed the plants in both pots. The plants in pot A were green, with tall, think stems. The plants in pot B were yellow, with tall, thin stems. Which statement best explains why the plants in pot A were different from the plants in pot B?

Which would be the best high-level scientific question?
