A. SCIENTIFIC METHOD
1. Read the experiment below to answer the questions below.
John is testing whether or not fertilizer increases plant growth. His hypothesis was
that fertilizer would make plants grow more. He uses 2 plants. Plant A was grown in
soil and Plant B was grown in soil with fertilizer added to it. John gave each plant
the same amount of water, and the same amount of sunlight. He measured the height
of each plant once a week for 5 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the height of
Plant A was 10 cm and the height of Plant B was 15 cm.
a. IV
•Fertilizer
b. DV
•height
c. Control group
•Plants A
d. What are 2 factors that must remain
constant?
•Type of plant, same amount of soil,
same amount of water, temperature
e. Describe what can be done to make the
results of this study more reliable.
•Repeat or increase sample size.

3. An object has a length of 2 cm, a height of 3.2
cm and a width of 0.23 cm. What is the volume
of the object! Show all work!

•V = 1.472 (always round to nearest
tenth)

4. What is the mass shown in the triple
beam balance below?
328.3g
5. What is the length of the object
below in centimeters?
•5.1cm
6. What is the
volume of the liquid
in the graduated
cylinder at the
right?
16 mL
7.
a. The mass of an object is 50g and its volume is 5.5 mL. What is the
density of the object? Show all work.
•D = m
v
•D = 50 g
5.5 mL
D = 9.1 g/mL
b. Does the object float in water? Why or why not?
•It does not float. In sinks because it has a greater
density than water (1.0g/mL)
8. Identify the following temperatures in
degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius.
a. melting point of water?
•0C, 32F
•c. boiling point of water?

•0C, 32F
9. Which part of the microscope controls the amount of light used?
•diaphragm
10. When switching from low to high power, what happens to the field of view?
•It decreases
11. What is the total magnification produced by a microscope using a 10x ocular lens
and a 10x objective lens?
•10 x 10
•100x
12. A specimen is on the right side of the field of view. Which way should you move the
slide to center the image?
•left
13. The cover slip must be lowered onto the specimen at an angle on A WET MOUNT
to avoid _______________.
• Air bubbles
14. A substance added to a wet mount, that makes cell parts more visible is called
_____________.
• stain
15.What is the diameter
of the field of view
below in millimeters
and micrometers?
16. What is the length of one
of the cells in the field of
view in millimeters and
micrometers if the diameter
__________________________
is 8mm?
21. What is the length of the object in the fiel
• 2 mm
22. When preparing a wet mount, why must the
• 2000 um
6 mm
• 3.5 mm
