You are watching the news and see a news report about ground water contamination. Curious, you want to know more about how it may affect your community. From the following list of sites, select the one most likely to contain accurate information about hazardous waste sites. Use this site to answer the parts of this question: http://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleanup http://www.handsonhealth-ac.org/ http:/www.epa.gov/ http://www.answers.com/topic/superfund 1. Briefly, what is the Superfund and when was it started? 2. What Region is South Carolina in? What other states belong to this Region? 3. What is the name of the Superfund site that is closest to your home (and what address and/or zip code did you use to locate #)? 4. Which site did you use to answer these questions? Why did you select it? (Why did you believe this would be the more credible, accurate and relevant site?) Q2. Your uncle Jim makes a salad dressing that you really like. After Sunday's dinner he gives you a bottle with some of the dressing to take home to use during the following week. When you take the bottle out of the fridge,next day, you see that there are different layers of fluid. Your first instinct is to call uncle Jim and ask him whether the dressing went bad. However, you remember reviewing the scientific method and want to use it to find out what happened to the dressing. Write out each of the 6 steps above applying the scientific method to this observation. 1. observation: 1 of 2 2. question: 3. hypothesis: 4. prediction: 5. toat: 6. Conclusion; Q3. Your friend, Barbara, tells you she is using a now fertilizer on her roses. She believes this new fertilizer, "Mega Rose", is making her roses grow faster and flower more than your roses. How could you use the scientific method to decide if you should start using "Mega Rose" on your roses, too? Write out each of the 6 steps above applying the scientific method to this observation. 1. observation: 2. question: 3. hypothesis 4. prediction: 5. test: 6. conclusion: Q4.

Come up with your own examples of a falsifiable statement and a non-falsifiable statement. For each one, explain how it can or cannot be proven false. QB. Find out what is meant by the term paou -science and give an example not found in this lesson QB, Janice has a geranium in a flowerpot, and after a while it dies. Janice thinks, "I wonder if it is because of the type of potting soil I used?" So she goes to the store and buys a new geranium and a different type of potting soil to plant it in. She also waters this new geranium every other day and is careful not to forget about it like she did before. After the plant survives for one year, Janice decides that her experiment proved that this now brand of potting soil is excellent and recommends it to all her friends. Use the information in the link above and: Explain why Janice's experiment is actually NOT good enough to make the Interpretation that she made? Help Janice out by designing an experiment for her, Include all steps of the scientific method and the infor nation on the link above. Be sure to specifically list all your variables and which typo each is. " Make sure to label from the exp ment the independe , and control variables. Q10. What is a "control group"? Why does an expo mant need to have a control group? (Hint Look in the blue link above that says scientific expert K
