A farmer has noticed that his soybean plants produce more beans in some years than others. He claims to always apply the same amount of fertilizer to the plants, but he suspects the difference in crop yield may have something to do with the amount of water the crops receive. The farmer has observed that the soybeans on his farm usually receive between 0 to 0.5 inches of water per day, but he is unsure of the optimal average daily amount of water with which to irrigate.
1. State a question that addresses the farmer’s problem
2. Conduct online research on “soybean crop irrigation" and record a brief summary of the findings
3. Construct a testable hypothesis and record i
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis and describe the procedures, variables, and data to be collected
A pharmaceutical company has developed a new weight loss drug for adults. Preliminary tests show that the drug seems to be fairly effective in about 75% of test subjects. The drug company thinks that the drug might be most effective in overweight individuals, but they are unsure to whom they should market the product.
Use the scientific method to address the pharmaceutical company’s needs:
State a research question that addresses the pharmaceutical company's problem
Conduct online research on “Body Mass Index” categories and record a brief summary
Construct a testable hypothesis and record in
Design an experiment to test the hypothesis and describe the procedures, variables, and data to be collected
What is the purpose of a control group in an experiment? What would the control groups be for each of your designed experiments in this exercise?

Patients with multiple sclerosis frequently suffer from blurred vision. Drug X was developed to reduce blurred vision in healthy patients, but the effectiveness had not been tested on those suffering from multiple sclerosis. A study was conducted to determine if Drug X is effective at reducing blurry vision in multiple sclerosis patients. To be considered effective, a drug must reduce blurred vision by more than 30% in patients. Researchers predicted that a 20 mg dose of the drug would be effective for treating blurred vision in multiple sclerosis patients by reducing blurred vision by more than 30%. Drug X was administered to groups of multiple sclerosis patients at three doses (10 mg/day, 20 mg/day, 30 mg/day) for three weeks. A fourth group of patients was given a placebo containing no drug X for the same length of time. Vision clarity was measured for each patient before and after the three-week period using a standard vision test. The results were analyzed and graphed (See Figure…
