Slimotosis
sponge bob notices that his pal gary is suffering from slimotosis, which occurs when the shell
develops a nasty slime and gives off a horrible odor. his friend patrick tells him that rubbing seaweed
on the shell is the perfect cure, while sandy says that drinking dr. kelp will be a better cure. sponge
bob decides to test this cure by rubbing gary with seaweed for 1 week and having him drink dr. kelp.
after a week of treatment, the slime is gone and gary's shell smells better.
what was the initial observation?
what is the independent variable?
what is the dependent variable?
what should sponge bob's conclusion be?

For questions 1 and 2, consider the following experimental data. hydrogen emission lines were detected at the following wavelengths (in nm): 121.6102.697.395.093.8question 1use the electromagnetic radiation classifications below and figure 1-1 in the introductory information for this lab (in the lab manual) to determine the nf value for the experimental data provided? wavelength, ?
