Goldilocks+-+Izze

This is Izze M. reporting for Rolling Forrest Magazine. Professor Goldie Locks recent discovered the inside scoop on the way that the Bearingtons live. As she was knocking on the door it slowly creaked open. She **observed or sensed** there were 3 beds. This was her experiment. It was perfect. She would call it **Bears and Their Beauty Sleep.** Goldie Locks was going to find out which bed the Bearingtons slept the longest in. Her **Independent Variable** **or the 1 thing that you change on purpose** was the material of mattress. She approached the first bed. Sitting down on it she observed that this was a normal spring mattress. This was her first **level of IV or description of the set up**. She stood up, and then walked over to the second bed. Once more she sat on the edge of the bed. This time she observed that this was an air mattress. She had found her **second level of IV**. She stood up and then finally went over to the last bed. She sat down on it and realized that this was a water bed. And now she had her **last level of IV**. Goldilocks **inferred (to decide or think about an event after you observe it)** that this was the bed that the bears slept in the most. She decided to make her experiment official. **She picked up her pad and pen and wrote down her DV or what you measure.** Her DV was the time she spent asleep in each bed. Her **constants or things that stayed the same** were the amount of light in the room and the kind of pillow she was using. Her **units of measurement or what she was measuring time with were hours she spent asleep. Finally she wrote her purpose or the reason for the lab in the correct and only format.** The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect of material of mattress on amount of time spent asleep. She walked back to the first bed, looked over at the blinds to make sure they were shut (to make sure she kept her constant, well, constant,) put down her pillow, lay down, then set a timer. She tried to fall asleep, she tried and tried and tried. The mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. She simply could not fall asleep. She wrote 0 on the results chart and moved to the air mattress. She again repeated her process and then set the timer. As she lay on the bed she heard a strange noise. It was kind of a tsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Suddenly, the air mattress popped. She lay on the cold, hard, unforgiving ground. 0 again. She hopefully moved over to the water bed. She lay down and was immediately relaxed. One last time she repeated her process and just like that she was out cold. Her dreams were full of rainbows and butterflies. Then she was dreaming of the Bearingtons. The papa bear walked into the bedroom and said, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed." Then the mama bear. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed." Finally baby bear, " Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" Goldie Locks woke with a start to find that it was not a dream at all. There were three angry bears standing around her bed. She stood up and grabbed her timer. She had been asleep 8 hours! She quickly explained that she was a reporter for Rolling Forrest Magazine. They were extremely flattered and agreed not to sue. She then returned to the office and gave me the story just before she turned around and fell out the window. After falling 3 stories she is now recovering from some broken bones in the hospital. This is Izze M. happy to report that water beds are extremely comfortable and provide excellent beauty sleep for bears and humans.
