Professor Van Slooten Famous Dooessence

Hello!! I am professor Van Slooten I live somewhere in Europe

I am rich from using the scientific method!!

Steps I took Problem/Question Observation/Research Formulate a Hypothesis Experiment Collect and Analyze Results Conclusion Communicate the Results

First you have to have a problem to solve I had a big problem! My beautiful plants were dying………. so sad.

Why are my plants dying? Problem/Question: Problem/Question Develop a question or problem that can be solved through experimentation.

I studied my plants. Look in gardening books, Internet search, and I went to garden centers to speak to experts. Observation/Research: Observation/Research Make observations and research your topic of interest.

I think I need better soil or fertilizer. . Hmmmm Maybe I will make my own fertilizer!!

If I use my own Dooessence then my plants will grow better than anyone else's. Plus, I will make a lot of money. Formulate a Hypothesis: Hypothesis Predict a possible answer to the problem or question.

Procedures • One ton of chicken manure • One ton of cow manure • One ton of horse manure

Procedures • • • Giant bin Giant mixer 1, 000 pink petunias 1, 000 pots Potting soil

Procedures • 100 bags of

Procedures • 100 bags of

Experiment • • • Plant all the plants Add Unigrow to 250 plants Add Ozoneem to 250 plants Add Dooessence to 250 plants No fertilizer to 250 plants. This is my control group.

Data • I took pictures

Data • Measured plants

Made a really cool chart Scientists use SI (global system of measurement), so that they can communicate their results around the world International System using meters, liters, and grams.

Really cool chart Pink Petunias Size of Petunias Fertilizer Water A day Unigrow 5 m. L Full Ozoneem 5 m. L Dooessence 5 m. L Nonegroup Control Sunlight Temperat ure Average Size in cm 30 degrees C 10 cm Full 30 degrees C 10. 5 cm Full 30 degree c 50 cm 8 cm

Really good fertilizer Conclusion: Conclusion Include a statement that accepts or rejects the hypothesis. Make recommendations for further study and possible improvements to the procedure.

Time to make money

Secret formula Communicate the Results: Results Be prepared to present the project to an audience.

Lab Safety • • • Most important thing is safety in the lab! I wear safety goggles. I wear gloves. I have to roll up my sleeves. I can’t clown around. I don’t eat or drink in my lab.

You try! In your group, think of a problem. What would be your question? How would you research it? How would you test it?

Example Problem- dog barks all the time Question- Why does my dog bark? Research- look in books, look on the Internet, go to Pet Smart and ask an expert. Formulate a hypothesis- If my dog barks then it is because he want attention. Test it- everyone in the family gives the dog attention. Write down what happens. Make charts and graphs Form a conclusion

Group Activity • Choose one lab safety rule or procedure. Pick one of the following to do in your group: • Illustrate the rule or procedure (that means draw : ) • Make up a song about the rule or procedure • Make up a skit about the rule or procedure Be ready to present to the class.
