Question

Jason notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. His friend FeFe tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Jason decides to check this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of "treatment" there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.

Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the question is asking to identify the following aspects of the experiment:

Dependent variable: Amount/appearance of green slime

Independent variable: Coconut juice

Constant: Same shower

Control group: half of the shower sprayed with water

Experimental group: half of the shower sprayed with coconut juice

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is changed or manipulated in order to bring about an effect. In this case, the independent variable is the COCONUT JUICE.

Dependent variable is the variable being measured by the experimenter in an experiment. In this case, the dependent variable is the AMOUNT/APPEARANCE OF GREEN SLIME.

Experimental group is the group that received the experimental treatment in an experiment. In this case, the experimental group is the HALF PART OF THE SHOWER SPRAYED WITH COCONUT JUICE.

Control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment in an experiment. In this case, the control group is the HALF PART OF THE SHOWER SPRAYED WITH WATER.

Constants in an experiment are those variables that are kept the same for all groups in an experiment. In this case, a constant is the SAME SHOWER USED THROUGHOUT.
