Gianna wants to test which brand of popcorn pops the most kernels. She picked a store brand, Orville Redenbacher, and PopSecret. All three bags started with the same number of kernels. She popped each for 3 minutes in the same microwave, and then counted the number of kernels left over. What is her independent variable?
Number of kernels left over
Brand of popcorn
Number of kernels before popping
Length of time cooking

Hypothesis
Is this hypothesis written correctly?
If a runner runs boots, then it will slow them down because it is heavier.
Yes, it is correct
No, it is incorrect because it is missing why the person predicts this.
No, it is incorrect because the word "it" is used."
No, it is incorrect because it is missing the "then".
Is this hypothesis written correctly?
If a runner runs wearing sneaker, then they runner will run the fastest.
Yes, it is correct
No, it is incorrect because it is missing why the person predicts this.
No, it is incorrect because the word "it" is used."
No, it is incorrect because it is missing the "then".
Is this hypothesis written correctly?
If a runner runs wearing boots, then the runner's time will not be fast because the weight of the sneakers will slow the runner down.
Yes, it is correct
No, it is incorrect because it is missing why the person predicts this.
No, it is incorrect because the word "it" is used."
No, it is incorrect because it is missing the "then".
What is the placebo effect?
a measurable change based only on belief that there should be a change.
to set apart or keep separate
the part of the experiment that is used for comparison
At least how many times should an experiment be done to be considered reliable?
1
2
3
4
Is this problem statement written correctly?
How will the time the sun rise?
Yes, it is correct.
No, it is missing a dependent variable.
No, it is missing both variables.
Is this problem statement written correctly?
How will the time the sun rise(6am, 7am, 8am) affect the growth of a tomato plant?
Yes, it is correct.
No, it is missing a dependent variable.
No, it is missing both variables.
In order to make observations, an observer must always
use the five senses
use mathematical calculations
do experiments
use proportion
What do you do with your data after you go through your experiment?
Analyze it.
Record it.
Put it into a data table and/or graph.
All of the above.
Fish hatcheries are an enclosed environment used to raise a large number of fish. A fish biologist wondered if fish raised in hatcheries would be able to survive in a wild environment. The biologist thought that fish raised in hatcheries lost their fear of predators.
To test the idea, he placed 15 hatchery trout and 15 wild trout of the same age and species into two separate tanks. The tanks were identical. He divided each tank in half by inserting a clear divider. The biologist placed the trout on one side of the divider and a large predatory fish – the northern pike – on the other side. He then recorded the amount of time it took the trout to move to the back of the tank away from the northern pike. The biologist found that the hatchery fish moved away much slower than the wild fish.
What was the IV in the experiment?
The type of trout (hatchery or wild)
The time it takes the trout to move to the back of the tank
The tanks
Fish hatcheries
