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.

Identify the-

1. Control Group

2. Independent Variable

3. Dependent Variable

4. What should Bart's conclusion be?

5. How could Bart's experiment be improved?

1. mice not exposed to microwaves

2. Mice exposed to microwaves

3. if the microwave made the mice stronger

4. Overall, the data shows that the microwaved mice were able to move the block, although some mice that weren't microwaved could too they not all of them did. So Bart's hypothesis was correct, mice that have been microwaved are extra strong.

5. To improve his experiment, Bart can add more trials to make sure that his data is correct and include more mice in the trials.
