Students drop 4 different sized blocks into sand from different heights to see which height makes a larger dent in the sand. How can they improve this experiment?

Use different colored blocks to see better

Students roll toy cars down the same ramp with different coverings like carpet, foil, and sandpaper. What are they trying to test?

How does the surface of a ramp affect the distance a car will roll?

How does the height of a ramp affect the distance a car will roll?

How does the mass of the car affect the distance a car will roll?

How does the surface of a ramp affect how fast a car will travel?

In order to test friction, what is needed for the investigation?

Several ramps with different surfaces

Several ramps of different heights

Several cars of different masses

Several cars of different speeds

How could you test the strength of two magnets?

See which will lift more iron nails

Use a Spring Scale to see which has more force

Students are pulling a spring scale across a table with a block of wood behind it. If they are testing the affect of friction on the force needed to pull the block, what should their variable be?

Different surfaces on the table

Different masses on the block of wood

Different heights of the table tops

A student is planning an experiment to find out how the height from which he drops a ball affects how high the ball bounces. The dependent variable, or data gathered, is the _____.

Height from which the ball is dropped

A student performed an experiment that tested how many days it takes different types of grass seed to grow to a height of two inches. Four types of grass seed were tested, and the student recorded the number of days for each type to grow. Use this information to answer the next question. What should be held constant in this experiment?

amount of sunlight, amount of water, and type of soil

amount of water and type of soil

A student is studying the effect of sunlight on plants. The student developed this hypothesis: Plants need light to make food and to grow properly. To conduct a controlled experiment, which method should she use?

Choose two identical plants; put one in the dark and one near sunlight; use the same amount of water; water both regularly

Choose a healthy plant; put it in a dark place; use clean water; water the plant regularly.

Choose two identical plants; put each in the dark for 12 hours and then light for 12 hours; use the same amount of water; water both regularly.

Choose three identical plants; put one in the dark, one near sunlight, and one in the shade, water only the plant in light.

Choose the hypothesis from below.

If objects are closer together, then there will be a stronger gravitational force.

The golf ball hit the ground before the paper.

I think bigger objects have more gravity.

Which is a good hypothesis?

If I drop the same golf ball from different heights, the higher the height, the larger the crater made in the sand.

If I drop the golf ball, gravity will take over.

If I drop different sized golf balls into different liquids, I will get all the same sized splashes.

If I drop different sized balls from different heights, the larger the ball, the bigger the crater in the sand.
