Read the information below and then answer the questions. SpongeBob and Patrick love to go jellyfishing. They wondered if a new brand of jellyfish bait would help them catch more jellyfish. To test their idea, they bought a big container of bait for their next 3 trips to their top-secret fishing spot. SpongeBob fished without any bait, while Patrick used the new bait. Both of them kept track of how many jellyfish they caught in 30 minutes, which is shown in the chart. 1.Which person was the control? 2. What is the independent variable? 3. What is the dependent variable? 4. Based on the data, how would you rate the new bait? SpongeBobPatrick

Read the information below and then answer the questions. SpongeBob loves to grow flowers for his pal Sandy, who loves big, colorful flowers. He found a new brand of seeds coated with a special “booster” fertilizer that said it would produce huge flowers. He planted 5 of the new seeds in one container and 5 of the old brand of seeds in another container. He placed both containers on a sunny windowsill and watered them every day. He measured the diameter of each flower, which is shown in the chart. 1.Which group was the control? 2. What is the independent variable? 3. What is the dependent variable? 4. What is the average diameter for each group? Old Seeds10 cm12 cm14 cm6 cm8 cm New Seeds8 cm14 cm10 cm12 cm16 cm 5. Which seeds are the best for big flowers?

Calculate the volume for each shape below. The unit for each measurement is cm.

Helium balloons float in air, oil floats on top of water, and our atmosphere is above the water on the Earth’s surface. (Assume liquid water for the blue box.) Density tells us how tightly packed the atoms are within a given volume.

Will it float in water? Determine if the following shapes will float in water by calculating the density for each item. D = M / V Mass: 15 g Volume: 20 mL Mass: 1000 g Volume: 50 mL Mass: 225 g Volume: 100 mL Mass: 10 g Volume: 200 mL

Will it float in water? Determine if the following shapes will float in water by calculating the density for each item. D = M / V Mass: 15 g Volume: 20 mL Density: 0.75 g/mL Mass: 1000 g Volume: 50 mL Density: 20.0 g/mL Mass: 225 g Volume: 100 mL Density: 2.25 g/mL Mass: 10 g Volume: 200 mL Density: 0.05 g/mL If the density is less than 1.0 g/cm 3 then it will float. 1 g/mL = 1 g/cm 3
