1. Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers. He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same task (in this case, they're supposed to staple a set 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, Smithers counts how many stacks of papers each group has made. Group A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113 stacks.

Identify the: A. Control Group- B. Independent (Manipulated) Variable- C. Dependent (Responding) Variable- D. What should Smithers' conclusion be?- E. How could this experiment be improved?-

2. Bart believes that mice exposed to radiowaves will become extra strong (maybe he's been reading too much Radioactive Man). He decides to perform this experiment by placing 10 mice near a radio for 5 hours. He compared these 10 mice to another 10 mice that had not been exposed. His test consisted of a heavy block of wood that blocked the mouse food. he found that 8 out of 10 of the radiowaved mice were able to push the block away. 7 out of 10 of the other mice were able to do the same.

Identify the: A. Control Group- B. Independent (Manipulated) Variable- C. Dependent (Responding) Variable- D. What should Bart's conclusion be?- E. How could Bart's experiment be improved?-

3. Maps contain legends so that people reading them can better understand how the map is drawn. What exactly is a legend? Draw a simple example of what one might look like.
