Students predict that mealworms will prefer dark environments over light ones. They count 12 mealworms in the dark side of a container and 3 in the light, and also observe that the worms in the light moved faster. State the hypothesis, dependent variable, and one piece of qualitative data.

What is “Hypothesis: mealworms prefer dark environments; Dependent variable: number of worms in each environment; Qualitative data: worms in light moved faster”?

In an experiment testing the effect of caffeine on reaction time, students recorded the number of seconds it took to catch a dropped ruler (in cm) and also noted whether students appeared jittery or calm. Identify which data is quantitative and which is qualitative.

“Reaction time in cm is quantitative, and observations of jitteriness are qualitative”?
