Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. His friend Barney tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer decides to check this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of "treatment" there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.
- What is the Control?
- What is the Experimental group?
- What is the independent variable?
- What is the dependent variable?
- What is the conclusion?

QUALITATIVE VS. QUANTITATIVE
All of the observations in this worksheet were qualitative; that is, you observed a quality about an object (it smelled good, it was green, etc.). Another type of observation is quantitative, meaning that it can be described or measured in concrete numerical terms. The following observations are quantitative: There are 30 students in my class. I weigh 98 pounds. 1 ate a pound of potatoes.
Determine which of the following statements are quantitative and which are qualitative.
1. ______The cup had a mass of 454 grams.
2. ______The temperature outside is 25 degrees C.
3. ______It is warm outside.
4. ______The tree is 30 feet tall.
5. ______The building has 25 stories.
6. ______The building is taller than the tree.
7. ______The sidewalk is long.
8. ______The sidewalk is 100 meters long.
9. ______The race was over quickly.
10. ______The race was over in 10 minutes.
