Read each experiment and answer the questions:
Linus and the Dirty Blanket:
Linus discovered that his blanket was getting dirty and he wanted to clean it.
Lucy suggested buying Peanuts Laundry Detergent and using it on the blanket. Charlie Brown suggested using Schulz Laundry Detergent to clean the blanket.
As Linus had several blankets and all of them were equally dirty, he decided to wash one in plain water, one in Peanuts Laundry Detergent and one in Schulz Laundry Detergent. He repeated the experiment several times.
After he had completed the investigation, it looked like the blanket washed in Schulz Laundry Detergent was the cleanest.
1. What was the problem that Linus wanted to investigate?
2. What is the independent variable?
3. What is the dependent variable?
4. What will Linus look at to see if the detergent works (the control)?
5. What should Linus’ conclusion be?
