MIDTERM REVIEW #2

Read the following and answer questions 1-8.

A group of scientists compared the effect of different aged grass compost on bean plants. Because decomposition is necessary for release of nutrients, the group hypothesized that older grass compost would produce taller bean plants. The plants were then fertilized as follows: Flat A: 450 g of three month old compost; Flat B: 450 g of six month old compost; Flat C: 0 g of compost. The plants received the same amount of sunlight and water each day. At the end of 30 days the group recorded the height of the plants in cm.

1.  Write a problem statement/research question:

2.  Write a hypothesis:

3.  What is the independent variable:

4.  What is the dependent variable:

5.  What is the control group:

6.  What are the controlled variables:

7.  After the experiment was concluded, the following data was acquired: Flat A grew from 10 cm to 13 cm; Flat B grew from 10 cm to 15 cm; Flat C grew from 10 cm to 10.4 cm. Write a conclusion that might follow from these results.

8.  Suggest an improvement for this experiment. Explain why it is an improvement.

9.  Write the electron dot structure and orbital notation for a sulfur atom.
