7.  Adjective which describes a quality  Color (Red, blue)  Texture (Smooth, rough)  Shape (Round, square)  Speed (Fast, slow)  Size (Large, small)  Distance (Near, far)  Temperature (Hot, cold)

8.  Numerical measurements which describe:  Color (700 nM)  Texture (50 grit sandpaper)  Shape (25 cm diameter circle)  Speed ( 75 m.p.h.)  Size (150 m)  Distance (130 miles)  Temperature (37.5  C)

12.  You have just decided to open your own tomato company. You know that the more tomatoes you grow…the more money you will make. However, you need to buy some supplies which will also cost money.  You have just bought all the materials needed to launch your new business, the only thing left is the fertilizer.

13.  Three different companies want your business, we’ll call them A, B, and C.  All the fertilizers are roughly the same price, but you need to know which one works the best.  Now its time to design an experiment.
