27. Final Jeopardy
Q: Read the following experimental scenario. Identify the control group, experimental group, independent variable, dependent variable, and 2 constants.
Scenario: Maggie read that some plants grow better if the soil is acidic and decides to test this with her geraniums. She puts potting soil in 2 planting containers and transplants 2 of her geraniums of the same size into the pots. She puts the pots in the same location so that they both get the same sunlight each day, are at the same temperature and she makes sure they get the same amount of water. However, Maggie puts a tablespoon of vinegar in the water she gives to one of the plants. She measures the height of the plants every week for five weeks.
A: Control Group (Plants w/ only water); Experimental Group (Plants w/ vinegar); Independent Variable (Watering Method); Dependent Variable (Height of Plants); Constants (type of plant, temperature, sunlight, amt of water, pot size, potting soil)
