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?

The initial observation in this scenario is that Gary's shell has developed a nasty slime and gives off a horrible odor (slimotosis).
The independent variable is the treatment that Sponge Bob applies to Gary, which includes rubbing seaweed on the shell and having him drink Dr. Kelp.
The dependent variable is the outcome or response that is being measured, which in this case is the presence/absence of slime and the odor of Gary's shell.
Sponge Bob's conclusion should be that the treatment seems to be effective since, after a week of rubbing seaweed on the shell and having Gary drink Dr. Kelp, the slime is gone and his shell smells better.
