Final Review: Integrated Science
How to Study for the Final: First go through this study guide to get an idea of what will be on the final.
Answer any questions, fill out any definitions, and do any problems that are listed. We have taken example
problems from your quizzes, tests, and labs to give you SOME practice. However, you will likely need more
practice in some areas. If you need more practice you should refer to the hard copy of your tests/quizzes, as well
as you labs and notes. If you do not have these, almost everything that we have done in class can be accessed
electronically from my website. PLEASE MAKE TIME TO COME AFTER SCHOOL IF YOU NEED
HELP!!! I WILL BE AFTER EVERY DAY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FINAL!
TOPIC A: Scientific Method
1) What are the 5 steps of the scientific method?
2) Define Control and Variable
True/False
_______1.
_______2.
_______3.
_______4.
_______5.
The first step of the scientific method is to identify the problem.
An experiment should test many variables at the same time.
A hypothesis is your prediction for how an experiment will turn out.
The metric unit for measuring mass is grams.
The metric unit for measuring length is inches.
PRACTICE: SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Patty Power
Mr. Krabbs wants to make Bikini Bottoms a nicer place to live. He has created a new sauce that he thinks will
reduce the production of body gas associated with eating crabby patties from the Krusty Krab. He recruits 100
customers with a history of gas problems. He has 50 of them (Group A) eat crabby patties with the new sauce.
The other 50 (Group B) eat crabby patties with sauce that looks just like new sauce but is really just mixture of
mayonnaise and food coloring. Both groups were told that they were getting the sauce that would reduce gas
production. Two hours after eating the crabby patties, 30 customers in group A reported having fewer gas
problems and 8 customers in group B reported having fewer gas problems.
 Which people are in the control group?
 Which people are the treatment group?
 What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be?
 Why do you think 8 people in group B reported feeling better?
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 control group? Experimental Group?
 What is the Independent Variable, Dependent Variable?

 Make sure you can design an experiment using the scientific method to CORRECTLY test a single variable.
 Write a testable hypothesis that clearly states the Controls, Ind. Variable, and Dependent Variable
 Make sure you can evaluate the effectiveness of an example experiment (are their steps missing, does the
test correctly test a single variable, is there a hypothesis?)

description to find the 2 missing variables and fill your answers in the chart below.
Scenario: Mr. Bell thinks he is King Shiz on the streets, and is a master rollerblader (not the kind where you do
tricks, but the kind where you have a headband, tights, and a walkman). This is the story of his unfortunate
rollerblading incident.
Mr. Bell was getting ready to cruise down the boardwalk in his sweet rollerblades, wearing his favorite neon
green singlet, matching headband, and his tape player, stocked with smooth jazz by Kenny G.
Interval Information:
A: He starts from rest and begins to accelerate at 2.5m/s2 for 8 seconds.
B: Then Mr. Bell sees that he is over the rollerblading speed limit and slows down to 14 m/s in 2 seconds.
(Hint: you might need to use the final velocity of your previous situation as your initial in this situation and
subsequent situations!)
C: Then he cruises at a constant velocity(this tells you a relationship about initial and final velocity). He then
maintains his velocity for 10 seconds.
D: He then slows down for 5 seconds to avoid hitting Snooki who is “trying to find the beach”, but instantly
comes to a complete stop when he runs into the formidable Snooki as she drops him cold with a closeline.
PRACTICE: KINEMATIC EQUATION WORD PROBLEMS
 Know how to find initial, average, and final velocity.

below. Include a discussion of “g” and how it applies to different masses
PRACTICE: INTERPRETING GRAPHS
Scenario: The graph above describes an unfortunate situation. Ryan was very excited because he got a brand
new Schwin bicycle for his 17th birthday, complete with a horn and a basket. He named his bike Flash. Ryan
was riding Flash down the street a cruising speed until he came to a red light. He stopped at first, but then
decided to gun it, at which point he was hit by an 18 wheeler and was thrown off his bike backwards flipping
through the air, until he came to rest when he hit the ground. Ryan got up and the only thing that was hurt was
his pride, and his prized possession, Flash. Don’t run redlights Ryan.
