Notebook Entry Scientific Method Test 7 Name Score 40 1. Ascientist plants two rows of corn for experimentation. She puts fertilizer on row 1, but does not put fertilizer on row 2. Both rows receive the same amount of water and light intensity. She checks the growth of the corn of the course of 5 months. What is the constant in this experiment? A. Amount of water C. Corn without fertilizer B. Corn with fertilizer D. Plant height Sarah wanted to find out if temperature has an effect on the growth of bread mold. She grew the mold in nine Petri dishes containing the same amount and type of nutrients. Three were kept at 0 C, three were kept at 90, C, and three were kept at room temperature, 27 C. The containers were examined and the growth of the bread mold was recorded each Friday for five weeks. 2. Which of the following is the hypothesis. A. Ifthe amount of nutrients is changed, then the amount of bread mold will change. B. If there are different types of nutrient used, then that will cause differences in the amount of bread mold. C. Ifthe temperature changes then the amount of bread mold will change. D. Ifthe number of containers change, then the amount of bread mold will change. 3. One of the controlled variables in #2 is: ‘A. Temperature of the containers C. amount of bread mold 8, Temperature of the bread mold D. type of container used 4, The dependent or responding variable in #2 is A. Growth of bread mold C. amount of nutrients 8. number of containers at each temperature D. temperature of the containers 5. The independent or manipulating variable in #2 is: ‘A. number of containers at each temperature C. growth of bread mold B, Amount of nutrients in each container D. Temperature of the containers 6. Which of the following would NOT be a suitable way to measure growth of bread mold in this. ent? ‘A. The size of the bread mold spots C. the color of the bread mold spots B. The number of spots of bread mold D. the diameter of the bread mold spots 7, Students in a science class placed ice cubes in a cup. They were studying variables that affected how long it takes the ice to melt. Select the variable that would likely NOT affect the time it takes the ice to melt. A. Number of students C. temperature of the room 8. Size of ice cube D. size of the cup
