Question: Do antibacterial soaps get more germs off hands than regular soaps?

Your Hypothesis:

Design an experiment to answer this question. By “design”, I mean write a step by step description of how this experiment should be conducted – be specific. Use the methods that will provide the most reliable information.

Now, answer the following.

1.     What is the null hypothesis for this experiment?

2.     What is the independent variable?

3.     What is the dependent variable?

4.     What is the control in this experiment? (if you did not write one in, you should!)

5.     Go to your favorite search engine and figure out the results for this experiment (scientists have asked this question before) – do antibacterial soaps actually really kill more germs?
