• conservation of matter

• conservation of energy

Students use a balance to determine the mass of a marble is 7.5 grams. A graduated bottle contains 10.0 milliliters of water. When the marble is carefully lowered into the graduated bottle and is completely covered with water the volume of the water containing the marble has increased to 12.5 milliliters. Find the density of the marble.

• 0.3 g/ml

• 3.0 g/ml

• 7.5 g/ml

• 12.5 g/ml

Why might a scientist repeat an experiment if she did not make a mistake in the first one?

• Scientists who repeat experiments make the most money.

• It helps ensure the results are consistent and repeatable.

• Repeating ensures the expected results match the hypothesis.

• It helps find portions that can be skipped with the same results.

Why might a scientist repeat an experiment if he/she did not make a mistake in the first one? An experiment should be repeated to

• increase income for increased work.

• prove how interesting the study was.

• ensure the results are accurate.

• eliminate steps and save time.
