Area and Volume

What kind of data should the scientist collect to determine whether the ice sheet is changing size?

• Measure the depth of the ice sheet for several months.

• Measure the mass of the ice sheet for several weeks.

• Measure the area and thickness of the ice sheet for several years.

• Measure the width of the ice sheet from satellite images for several days.

Dry ice goes from a solid directly to a gas when it gets warmer. Students placed a small piece of dry ice inside a balloon, added air to the balloon, and sealed it. The figure shows the balloon and the dry ice at the beginning and end of the experiment. Which statement BEST describes the balloon and the dry ice at the end of the experiment?

• The total mass decreased and the total volume increased.

• The total mass increased, and the total volume decreased.

• The total mass remained the same, and the total volume increased.

• The total mass decreased, and the total volume remained the same.
