Christine has a glass of water. Michael has a fruit juice drink. Both drinks are at room temperature, and both students add ice to their drinks. Condensation begins to form on the outside of Christine's glass before Michael's. How could they state their observations as a problem to design an experiment?

• What is condensation?

• How does ice cause condensation to form in water?

• Does the temperature of the air influence condensation?

• Does the type of liquid influence the rate at which condensation forms?

A group of students was challenged to construct a boat that could transport 10 milliliters (13.38 grams) of corn syrup across a small, plastic swimming pool.

Which question will best help the students design their boat?

• What is the mass of the boat and the corn syrup?

• What force is need to push the boat across the length of the pool?

• What boat shape is needed to lower the density of the boat and the corn syrup?

• What is the distance from one point of the pool to the point on the exact opposite side?
