I have some Science Problems having to do with the Simpsons. I don't have the paper with me, but I'll explain the two I remember most.
Homer finds some green slime caked onto his shower. Someone tells him that coconut milk gets it off well, and he wants to find out if this is true. He sprays one side with water, and one side with the coconut milk and waits for a while. After he comes back, he finds that each side looks exactly the same.
What does this experiment prove?
Identify the dependent and independent variable.
Identify the control group.
How could this experiment be improved?
The other one involved Bart reading too much of "Radioactive Man", and coming to the theory that mice become stronger when exposed to the microwave. He puts ten rats in the microwave for ten seconds, and another ten rats get no exposure. 7 out of 10 rats with no exposure moved a wooden block, while 8 out of 10 exposed rats moved it.
What does this experiment prove?
Identify the dependent and independent variable.
Identify the control group.

Are you in integrated science? I'm going into Chemistry next semester...I hated that variable schtuff...
My homework load is overwhelming...
Psychology
Int. Algebra (I should be in Adv...but I want an easy 'A' and a heads up on Adv. because I'm not too brilliant at math)
Spanish III
20th Century History Honors
Ya...and DECA, Drama Club, Spanish Club, FSYL, volunteering for NHS...ahhh!

My geometry and Trig book is full of the most ridiculous questions, these are three of my favourites. A fishing company has a fishing fleet consisting of a large storage vessel "The Big Freezer" and a number of smaller fishing boats. "The Big Freezer" is equipped with refrigerated storage holds. The smaller boats catch fish and then veturn to the larger vessel, transfer their catch to the refigerated holds and then go back to catch more fish. At 6am one morning one of these fishing boats "The Jolly Snapper" lies 15km from "The Big Freezer" and on a bearing of 200degrees from it. "The Big Freezer" is travelling West at 10km/h. If "The Jolly Snapper" maintains a speed of 19km/h and wished to intercept "The Big Freezer" in what direction should it travel and when will the interception occur?The way they named the ships and tried to teach us about the operations of large fishing fleets amuses me, also the way it takes up so much of the page. At 12 noon on a pleasant day in July an illegal fishing vessel is spotted at a point...Any question that begins with a description of the day is at least slightly amusing. With respect to the location of a mouse, a snake lies in wait at (5i+6j)m. The mouse moves in a direction parallel to the vector i+2j. The snake being vectorially astute(!), makes it move when the mouse is at the pint on its path that is closest to the snake. Calculate this closest distance.I love the way the animals have thought and that they found it necessary to (!) to show how ridiculous this concept was. Lmao, this is Sadler Unit 3&4 right...?? I was looking up what vectorially astute meant and then your post came up LOL |
