12. 3 - $100 His favorite pants were not as clean as they used to be
SpongeBob noticed that his favorite pants were not as clean as they used to be. His friend Sandy told him that he should try using Clean-O detergent, a new laundry soap she found at Sail-Mart. SpongeBob made sure to wash one pair of pants in plain water and another pair in water with the Clean-O detergent. After washing both pairs of pants a total of three times, the pants washed in the Clean –O detergent did not appear to be any cleaner that the pants washed in plain water. What was SpongeBob’s problem?
His favorite pants were not as clean as they used to be

20. 4 - $400
Alyssa designs an experiment to learn about erosion. First, she sets up three long trays with equal-sized piles of sand at one end of each tray. Then she sets up Tray A so that it lays flat on a table. She elevates the end of Tray B that holds the sand by 5 cm (centimeters). Next, she elevates the end of Tray C that holds the sand by 10 cm.  Alyssa slowly pours 200 mL (milliliters) of water onto the sand in each tray. Finally, she observes and measures how far sand is carried by the water poured into each tray. What is the test variable (independent variable) in Alyssa's experiment?
Elevation of tray

21. 4 - $500 Amount of sand and water, type of tray
