“Flower Power” “Super Smarty” “Bubble Time” Scientific Method “Flower Power” “Super Smarty” “Bubble Time”

“Flower Power” What did Bob do wrong in this experiment? Explain. Bob did not provide both plants with the same amount of water and sunshine. In order to test the fertilizer correctly, both plants should have been placed in the sunny window and watered every day with the same amount of water. The only difference between the two plants should have been the fertilizer - one plant would be watered with the water with fertilizer and the other would be watered with plain water. What should Bob do to test the effectiveness of Flower Power fertilizer? Write an experiment. Answers will vary. Experiments should address the problems in Bob’s experiment.

“Super Smarty” Based on the data provided, do the Super Smarty Brain Boosting Snacks work? Explain your answer. The Super Smarty Brain Boosting Snacks appear to have worked for Gary and Barry. Both of them increased their test results after eating the snacks for three weeks. Larry did not show any improvement and Terry scored lower on his second test. However, it is difficult to determine if the Super Smarty Brain Boosting Snacks are an effective way to increase a person’s brain power based on this experiment alone as all the participants ate the snacks (no control group). The gains shown by Gary and Barry may have been due to the Super Smarty Brain Boosting Snacks, but further testing would be needed to make sure the results were not due to other factors.

“Bubble Time” Write an experiment to test the bubble power of the bubble gum brands and help Patrick win the contest. Answers will vary. Students should make sure to perform the same test with each brand in order to obtain reliable results. Repeated trials would generate more data to analyze and help Patrick pick the best bubble gum brand for the bubble blowing contest.
