If your hypothesis were The length/growth of the plant.
that SO2 negatively
affects plant growth,
what's the dependent
variable?
What was the The butterflies (both infected & uninfected)
independent variable in
the Monarch butterfly
experiment?
What was the control in The group of uninfected butterflies.
the Monarch butterfly
experiment?
What is a dependent What you are measuring; it is dependent on other
variable? variables
What is an independent The variable that you are manipulating and
variable? controlling in the experiment.
What does it mean that You ask the scientific community about your ideas
"science depends on and you study experiments done in the past in order
interactions within the to help you, and therefore help science.

, If a hypothesis is false, If the hypothesis is false, then the prediction is true
then what is the or false.
prediction?
In microscopy, what is The thickness of the specimen that may be seen in
depth of field? focus at one time (the vertical range of focus)
What's the relationship The higher the magnification, the smaller the depth
between magnification of field.
and depth of field?
What's the relationship The shorter the wavelength, the higher the
between wavelength of resolution.
light and optical
resolution of a
microscope?
How does adding oil The oil disperses the light more, what is changed is
between the specimen the refractive index.

What do you change in
the equation?
Why is a microscope Because it has two or more lenses.

Which wavelength of 300 nm, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the
light gives higher resolution/

microscope using the
same objective lens and
n value?
700 nm or 300 nm
Your microscope's total x=40x
magnification is 400x. The ocular times objective= total magnification
