20. Scenario Dana notices that her recently bought bread has been getting moldy within a week. She leaves it out in her kitchen and wonders if temperature affects the bread molding Testable Question: Does temperature affect the time it takes bread to mold?

21. Background research/info Bread mold has been seen to grow at room temperature (70 degrees). Temperature effects the growth of bread mold. Wonder Bread is left to sit at different temperatures until mold is seen. The bread is kept at 40 degrees, 70 degrees, & 86 degrees.

22. Variables Independent Variable = What I change – Temperature (40, 70 & 86 degrees) Dependent Variable = What is being measured – The amount of mold

23. 40 Degrees 70 Degrees (Room temperature) 86 Degrees

24. Hypothesis an “if, then” statement based on the IV and DV A prediction Does NOT have to be correct “If I change the temperature of the bread to something colder than room temperature, then there will be less mold”

25. Control Group The group that does not receive the IV or is not altered Used to make sure the IV is really causing a change in the DV Control Group = room temperature

26. 40 Degrees 70 Degrees (Room temperature) 86 Degrees The room temperature bread is considered the control because we know that it gets moldy in one week. We are using this knowledge to compare our results of the experiment

27. Constants Things that are kept the same in each group during the experiment # of slices of bread in each temperature setting How bread is kept (left open on plate, kept in bag) Way of measuring mold (ruler, calculating surface area, time it takes to see mold)

28. Procedure & Materials Procedure = Detailed list of steps explaining how to conduct experiment Materials = a list of materials you will need to conduct your experiment

29. Procedure 1.Place one slice of bread on one plastic plate. Repeat 8 times so that you have 9 slices of bread total 2.Place three slices of bread in the 40 degree temperature setting 3.Place three slices of bread in the 70 degree, room temperature setting 4.Place three slices of bread in the 86 degree temperature setting

30. Procedure (continued) 5.After one week, take all slices from their temperature settings and place in room temperature setting for measurement 6.Calculate the initial area of the bread by multiplying the breads length x width 7.Approximate the area of mold growing on each slice of bread (measure length x width of spots of mold) and record in science notebook 8.Calculate percent of bread covered in mold by the equation: (Area of mold/Area of bread) x 100 9.Repeat steps 6-8 for all bread slices 10.Record data in data table and take averages for each group

31. Materials Bread – Wonder white bread Plastic plate 40 degree, 70 degree, & 86 degree settings – Refrigerator, kitchen & incubator Ruler Calculator Science notebook

32. Ms. Levine is trying to determine if fertilizer is going to help her sunflowers grow taller. Testable Question = Does fertilizer help sunflowers grow taller than without fertilizer?

33. Variables Independent variable = fertilizer Dependent variable = sunflower height

34. Hypothesis If I apply fertilizer, then the sunflowers will grow taller If I do not apply fertilizer, then the sunflowers will grow taller

35. Control group Sunflowers without fertilizer

36. Constants # of sunflowers in each group Amount of water given to sunflowers Amount of sunlight sunflowers receive The way that you measure growth
