 Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange
green slime. His friend Barney tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer
decides to check this this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other
half of the shower with water. After 3 days of "treatment" there is no change in the
appearance of the side treated with water. However, the side treated with coconut juice had a
cleaner appearance.

 Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase
the productivity of workers. He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same
task (in this case, they're supposed to staple a set of papers). Group A is given the special juice
to drink while they work. Group B is not given the special juice. After an hour, Smithers counts how
many stacks of papers each group has made. Group A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113
stacks.

a. | special
juice | c. | group
A | b. | group
B | d. | Smithers | | | | |

 Bart believes that mice exposed to microwaves will
become extra strong (maybe he's been reading too much Radioactive Man). He decides to perform this
experiment by placing 10 mice in a microwave for 10 seconds. He compared these 10 mice to another 10
mice that had not been exposed. His test consisted of a heavy block of wood that blocked the mouse
food. he found that 8 out of 10 of the microwaved mice were able to push the block away. 7 out of 10
of the non-microwaved mice were able to do the same.
What was
Bart’s Control? a. | microwave | c. | mice that has not been exposed | b. | mice exposed to
the microwave | d. | block of
wood | | | | |
