Two 5th grade students are sitting in a canoe on the water. The weight of the canoe is pushing on the water and the water has an upward force on the canoe. What will most likely happen if another student gets in the canoe?

• The canoe will sink to the bottom of the pond.

• The canoe will rise higher than the water.

• The canoe will go lower in the water.

• The canoe will remain the same.

Based on the data recorded in the table, which hypothesis is most likely being tested in this investigation?

• If the surface of the ramp is bumpy, then a car will travel farther.

• If the car has more mass, then it will travel the least distance.

• If the ramp is taller, then a car will travel a greater distance.

• If the ramp is longer, then a car will travel a shorter distance.
