Scenario 1 – Floor Wax
A shopping mall wanted to determine whether the
more expensive “Tough Stuff” floor wax was better
than the cheaper “Steel Seal” floor wax at protecting
its floor tiles against scratches. One liter of each
brand of floor wax was applied to each of 5 test
sections of the main hall of the mall. The test
sections were all the same size and were covered with
the same kind of tiles. Five (5) other test sections
received no wax. After 3 weeks, the number of
scratches in each of the test sections was counted.
• Problem:
Is “Tough Stuff” floor wax better than “Steel Seal”
floor wax at floor tiles against scratches?
• Hypothesis:
I think that “Tough Stuff” floor wax is better than
“Steel Seal” floor wax at floor tiles against scratches.
• Independent variable: Type of wax
• Dependent variable: Number of scratches
• Control group: Tiles with no floor wax
• Experimental group: Tiles with each type of wax
• 2 controls (constants):
Same kind of tiles, test section same size
Write an observation and an inference based on the
picture.
Observation:

were climbing out
of the water.
Inference:
• The penguins
were fleeing from
a predator.
• The penguins
were chasing after
food.
Microscopic Measurement Review

measures a diameter of 2.5cm. Label the ruler and
a millimeter mark in your drawing.
2. Draw 5 cells of similar size across a low power field
of view. The diameter of the field of view is
1000um. Write the diameter under your field of
view. Determine the length of one cell and write it
under the diameter.

a length of 300um. The diameter of the field of
view is 1000um. Write this diameter under your
field of view.

energy
dioxide
Occurs in the cell organelle called mitochondria.
Occurs in Eukaryotic cells.
Aerobic respiration is very important because it is the
most efficient type of respiration. Energy is needed for
all life processes.
Alcoholic Fermentation
C6H12O6 CO2 +
glucose
carbon
alcohol
+ 2ATP
energy
dioxide
Occurs in the cytoplasm.
Occurs in yeast cells.
Anaerobic respiration is very important because energy
is produced. Energy is needed for all life processes.
Lactic Acid Fermentation
C6H12O6 lactic acid
glucose
+ 2ATP
energy
Occurs in the cytoplasm.
Occurs in muscle cells.
Anaerobic respiration is very important because energy
is produced. Energy is needed for all life processes.
Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
COMPARE
• They both have DNA (genetic material).
• They both contain ribosomes.
CONTRAST
• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells
have a nucleus.
• Prokaryotic cells do not membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
Compare and contrast archaebacteria and
eubacteria
COMPARE
• They do not contain a nucleus (prokaryotic).
• They do not contain membrane-bound organelles.
CONTRAST
• Archaebacteria live in extreme environments.
Eubacteria are very common and live in normal
environments.
• Archaebacteria are “ancient” bacteria. They have been
around for many years. Eubacteria have not existed for
as long as archaebacteria.
