  3. Homer Simpson • 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 the shower with coconut juice and the other half with water. • After three days of “treatment” there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.

  4. Bart Simpson • Bart believes that mice exposed to microwaves will become extra strong • He placed 10 mice in a microwave for 10 seconds. • He compared these to another 10 mice that had not been exposed by placing a block of heavy wood in front of their food.

  5. Krusty the Clown • Krusty was told that a certain itching powder was the newest best thing on the market, causing 50% longer lasting itches. He buys the new powder and compares it to his old powder by testing the two products on two different subjects

  6. Waylon Smithers • Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of his workers. • He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns them the same task, stapling sets of papers. • Group A is given the special juice to drink while they work. • Group B is not given the special juice. • After an hour, he counts how many stacks of papers each group has made.

  7. Design an experiment for Lisa Simpson • Describe how Lisa would perform this experiment • Identify the control group and the independent and dependent variables • Lisa Simpson is working on her science project: “Does Rogooti (a commercial hair product) affect the speed of hair growth?” Her family is willing to volunteer for the experiment.
