Question

Accepted Answer

### Question 7: What was Spongebob’s beginning question for his experiment?
# Brief Explanations:
The experiment is about testing if Clean - O detergent cleans pants better. So the beginning question should be about whether Clean - O detergent is more effective in cleaning pants than plain water (or if Clean - O detergent cleans pants better).
# Answer:
Does Clean - O detergent clean pants better than plain water? (or a similar question about the effectiveness of Clean - O detergent in cleaning pants)

### Question 8: What is the independent variable?
# Brief Explanations:
The independent variable is the factor that is changed in an experiment. In this case, the type of washing solution (using Clean - O detergent or plain water) is what Spongebob is changing.
# Answer:
The type of washing solution (using Clean - O detergent or plain water)

### Question 9: What is the dependent variable?
# Brief Explanations:
The dependent variable is what is being measured or observed. Here, we are observing how clean the pants are, so the cleanliness of the pants is the dependent variable.
# Answer:
The cleanliness of the pants

### Question 10: What are some control variables?
# Brief Explanations:
Control variables are factors that are kept the same to ensure a fair test. Some of them could be the number of times the pants are washed (three times), the type of pants (same type), the amount of water used, the washing method, etc.
# Answer:
- Number of times the pants are washed (three times)
- Type of pants (using the same type of pants)
- Amount of water used for washing
- Washing method (how the pants are washed)

### Question 11: What should Spongebob’s conclusion be?
# Brief Explanations:
After washing both pairs of pants three times, the pants washed in Clean - O detergent were not cleaner than those washed in plain water. So the conclusion should be that Clean - O detergent does not appear to be more effective in cleaning the pants than plain water.
# Answer:
Clean - O detergent does not appear to be more effective in cleaning the pants than plain water (based on the experiment where both pairs of pants were washed three times and the Clean - O washed pants were not cleaner).
