Spongebob lives to garden and wants to grow lots of pink flowers for his pal Sandy. He bought a special Flower Power fertilizer to see if it will help plants produce more pink flowers. He plants two of the same size in separate containers with the same amount of potting soil. He places one plant in a sunny window and waters it every day with fertilized water. He places the other plnat on a shelf in a closet and waters it with plain water every other day. This is what Spongebob did wrong in this experiment.
What is he has too many independent variables
200
Second step in the scientific method
What is state your hypothesis
200
This tool is used by scientists to measure liquid mass or volume
What is a graduated cylinder
200
This step should come right after asking a question, but before everything else
What is forming a hypothesis
200
A good way to record your data is to create a
What is data table
200
This is the control variable
What is the type and size of the plants
300
Third step in the scientific method
What is identify and control variables
300
This tool is used to measure distance.
What is meter stick, ruler, or measureing tape
300
This step shoul be completed towards the end of an experiment, but before going further
What is drawing conclusions
300
Facts, figures, and other evidence that can be used to learn through observation are called

Patrick and Spongebob love to blow bubbles. Patrick found some Super Bubble Soap at the Sail-mart. The ads claim that Super Bubble Soap will produce bubbles that are twice the big as bubbles made by regular soap. They made up two samples of soap. with 5oz of water and five oz of soap. This is the control variable
What is the soap to water ratio

Fourth step in the scientific method
What is test hypothesis
400
This tool is used to measure force or weight
What is spring scale
400
A prediction that can be tested is a
What is hypothesis
400
The independent variable is
What is the variable that changes
400
This is the independent variable
What is the type of soap used

Last four steps of the scientific method
What is collect and record your data, interpret your data, state your conclusions, and go further
500
This tool is ued to weigh something equally on both sides.
What is a balance
500
A factor in an experiment that can change is
What is an independent variable
500
The dependent or control variable is
What is the variable that is kept constant and does not change
500
This would be the hypothesis for the bubble experiment
What is If you use Super Bubble Soap to blow bubbles then your bubbles will be bigger
