Question by Gill: HELP SEVENTH GRADE SCIENCE HOMEWORK HELP URGENT easy ten points?
SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom pals have been busy doing a little research. Read the
description for each experiment and answer the questions.
1 ? Patty Power
Mr. Krabbs wants to make Bikini Bottoms a nicer place to live. He has created a new sauce that he
thinks will reduce the production of body gas associated with eating crabby patties from the Krusty
Krab. He recruits 100 customers with a history of gas problems. He has 50 of them (Group A) eat
crabby patties with the new sauce. The other 50 (Group B) eat crabby patties with sauce that looks just
like new sauce but is really just mixture of mayonnaise and food coloring. Both groups were told that
they were getting the sauce that would reduce gas production. Two hours after eating the crabby
patties, 30 customers in group A reported having fewer gas problems and 8 customers in group B
reported having fewer gas problems.
1 Which people are in the control group?
2 What is the independent variable?
3 What is the dependent variable?
4 What should Mr. Krabs? conclusion be?
5 Why do you think 8 people in group B reported feeling better?

2 ? Slimotosis
Sponge Bob notices that his pal Gary is suffering from slimotosis, which occurs when the shell
develops a nasty slime and gives off a horrible odor. His friend Patrick tells him that rubbing seaweed
on the shell is the perfect cure, while Sandy says that drinking Dr. Kelp will be a better cure. Sponge
Bob decides to test this cure by rubbing Gary with seaweed for 1 week and having him drink Dr. Kelp.
After a week of treatment, the slime is gone and Gary?s shell smells better.
1 What was the initial observation?
2 What is the independent variable?
3 What is the dependent variable?
4 What should Sponge Bob?s conclusion be?

3 ? Marshmallow Muscles
Larry was told that a certain muscle cream was the newest best thing on the market and claims to
double a person?s muscle power when used as part of a muscle-building workout. Interested in this
product, he buys the special muscle cream and recruits Patrick and SpongeBob to help him with an
experiment. Larry develops a special marshmallow weight-lifting program for Patrick and SpongeBob.
He meets with them once every day for a period of 2 weeks and keeps track of their results. Before
each session Patrick?s arms and back are lathered in the muscle cream, while Sponge Bob?s arms and
back are lathered with the regular lotion.
Which person is in the control group?
What is the independent variable?
What is the dependent variable?
What should Larry?s conclusion be?
Time Patrick SpongeBob
Initial Amount 18 5
After 1 week 24 9
After 2 weeks 33 17

Answer by Angie
omg i think i did this in 7th grade
1. group B
2. the new sauce
3. the number of people who felt better
4. the new sauce does reduce gas
5. the placebo effect is when people think theyre getting something so they feel like theyre better but its really just a mental thing

im not sure about set 2? the 2 variables are both being tested at the same time so either you typed it wrong or spongebob is an idiot and did it wrong
i thinkkk:
1. his shell gives off slime and nasty odor
2. the seaweed and Dr. Kelp
3. the amount of slime and odor
4. the seaweed and Dr. Kelp, either one or the other or maybe both together, work to cure slimotosis

1. spongebob
2. the muscle cream
3. the amount of muscle power
4. the muscle cream does not have any better effect than regular lotion.
