Question 21 Identify the control, IV, DV, and the constants in the following experiment:

Question 21 Jasmine decided to see if different soda brands would affect the growth of plants. She took three identical sets of tomato plants, placed them all in the same area and gave each plant 10 ml. of water a day. Group A received no additional treatment. Group B got 2 ml of Coke, and Group C got 2 ml of Sprite. She measured average growth for 2 weeks. Group A grew an average of 5 cm, Group B grew an average of 7 cm, and Group C grew 5 cm.

Question 22: Write a hypothesis for the scenario we just discussed.

Question 22: Write a hypothesis for the scenario we just discussed. IF Jasmine added 2 milliliters of Coke to a set of tomato plants, THEN those plants will grow faster than the others BECAUSE of the amount of caffeine in the soda she chose.

Question 23: Find the volume of a regular solid that has a length of 5 cm, a width of 2.3 cm, and a height of 3.1 cm.

Question 23: Volume (of a known object i.e. a box) = length x width x height 5 x 2.3 x x
