    The document describes an experiment conducted by John's biology class to test the effect of different aged grass compost on the growth of bean plants. They hypothesized that older grass compost would produce taller bean plants. Three flats of bean plants were grown for 5 days with (A) 3-month-old compost, (B) 6-month-old compost, or (C) no compost as a control. The height of the plants was measured after 5 days to test the hypothesis. It also provides examples of the key components of the scientific method - the hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, control group, and experimental group for 3 experiments involving calcium chloride and water temperature, salt water and plant health

    Scientific Method SOL review

    In the following situation, identify the hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, the control and
    constants.

    After studying about recycling, members of John’s biology class investigated the effect of various recycled
    products on plant growth. John’s lab group compared the effect of different aged grass compost on bean plants.
    Because decomposition is necessary to release the nutrients, the group hypothesized that older grass compost
    would produce taller bean plants. Three flats of bean plants (25 plants/ flat) were grown for 5 days. The plants
    were fertilized as follows: (a) Flat A: 450 g of three-month-old compost, (b) Flat B: 450 g of six-month-old
    compost, and (c) Flat C: 0 g compost. The plants received the same amount of sunlight and water each day. At the
    end of the 30 days the group recorded the height of the plants (cm).

    Hypothesis: If you use older grass compost then the bean plants will be taller.

    IV: age of compost

    DV: The height

    control: no compost plant

    constants: same amount of sun and water, amount of time for growth, types of plant, number of plants

    In the following situations, identify the hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, the control and
    experimental group.

    1. The addition of the chemical calcium chloride (CaCl) to water will increase its temperature.

    Hypothesis: If there is more calcium chloride , then the water temperature will increase .

    Independent Variable: calcium chloride Dependent Variable: water temp

    Experimental Group: __the groups with different


    Control Group: group with no calcium chloride
    amounts of chloride __________________
    2. Watering a plant with salt water will kill the plant.

    Hypothesis: If the plant is watered with salt water , then it will kill the plant .

    Independent Variable: salt water Dependent Variable: the plants state

    Experimental Group: groups with different amounts


    Control Group: plant with regular water
    of salt water

    3. A person that takes a vitamin supplement has better memory retention.

    Hypothesis: If a person takes a vitamin supplement , then they will have better memory rention .
    Independent Variable: vitamin supplements Control Group: people with no

    supplements

    Dependent Variable: memory of person Experimental Group: the person taking

    the vitamin / different types
