Nice site! no wonder it took a while.

1. The Quinn's demonstrated a scientific attitude with the wonder about cats being healthier with vitamins.

2. they did make a couple mistakes by experimenting on two different kinds of cats, but then later they proved their point by going to a breeder and getting two practically identical cats.

3. I think a controlled experiment is one where you think before you act.

4. to make sure that it's 100 percent accurate.

5. what kind of cat they used, how much food they gave them, how much water they gave them, etc.

6. It means an educated or knowledgable guess.

3 questions without a scientfic attitude:

1. Why would I do that?
2. Why should I tell you
3. How is that gonna help me in life?

3 questions with a scientific attitude:
1. Why does the height change where it lands?
2. wh ydo corks bounce?
3. I wonder if you did it with your eyes closed it would land the same ways as with your eyes open.

I'm confused on the question in number 4.

LAB REPORT
In the experiment given to my class we were testing our reflexes.

In the Process: First we tested a yard stick to see how soon we could catch itt with our right and left hands seperately. twice with an open hand twice with a closed hand.

Hypothesis: I gussed that the fastest result would be in our left hand with a closed hand. My reason was that I thought if we were more nervous doing it that we could catch it with our hand sooner.l

results: I found that the fastest catch was my right hand open.(11 cm.)

As close to a graph as I could figure out how to do in this format: right handopen-11 cm/ 37 cm
left hand open-32 cm/41 cm
right hand closed-62 and a half cm/74 cm
left hand closed-53 anda half cm/67 cm

thnx fer reading the assignment.

Mr. Byerly,
I really like your class, but sometimes while using the smartboard you go through it to fast. But other than that your class is great.
