SpongeBob realizes he feels like crying a lot. Larry tells SpongeBob that doing a physical activity will cut in half the number of times he feels like crying. SpongeBob records of how often the feels like crying for ten days before he starts doing physical activities, for ten days while doing physical activities, and for another ten days after quitting the activities. SpongeBob also follows his typical pattern of not asking Sandy out during these 30 days for emotional reasons. a. Controlled Variables = b. Controls = c. Manipulated Variable = d.

2. __Sun Bleached__ D Level ||  Lotion Days ng/mL ||  No Lotion Days ng/mL || SpongeBob is worried about getting skin cancer and thinks his favorite suntan lotion will protect his skin. SpongeBob knows that vitamin D is produced when skin is exposed to sunlight, so he will record the amount of vitamin D in his blood at the end of each day that he uses suntan lotion. If a suntan lotion blocks sunlight the vitamin D levels should be significantly reduced. SpongeBob also records his vitamin D levels for ten days while not using the lotion. Because vitamin D is contained in seafood and is added to milk, SpongeBob also goes on a vegan diet for 20 days to control for this variable. a. Controlled Variables = b. Control = c.

While watching the health channel SpongeBob learned that each 10 mile increase in weekly running raised the runner’s HDL cholesterol by at least 3%. He also learned that a 1% increase in HDLs lowered heart disease risk by 3%. SpongeBob knew that Patrick would run after grease, so he started running and carried a paper plate of grease so Patrick would chase him. Before SpongeBob and Patrick started running they had their cholesterol levels checked. They also had their Cholesterol levels checked once a month for four more months. For the next two months SpongeBob ran 5 miles a week with Patrick chasing him. For two more months he ran 15 miles a week with Patrick chasing him. Squidward also had his HDLs checked during this time, but he just played his clarinet.
