Scientific Investigation

The formula for density is

• Mass x volume
• Volume/mass
• Mass/volume
• Volume x mass

Which would be the best tool to determine the volume of a small piece of gold?

• Metric ruler

• Balance
• Density probe

How would you determine the volume of a cube?

• Length x width x height
• Height x length x weight
• Mass x volume x size
• Density x width x length

To best verify the observed results in an experiment, what should be done?

• Test multiple variables at once
• Average all data collected from experiment
• Write down all observations during experiment
• Repeat the experiment at least once

What do scientists use to find the best answer to a question?

• Observations
• Scientific method
• Experimentation
• Hypothesis

A particular rock is observed to float in water. Water has a density of about 1 kg/meter cubed. Which best describes the rock?

• The rock has density greater than water
• The rock has the same density as water

What is the first step of the scientific method?

• State hypothesis
• Gather data
• State the problem
• Conduct an experiment
