c) procedure
d) data
Tayshawn and Jacoby were looking at the results of their experiment with glue. They noticed that wood holds tighter together with wood glue than with school glue. They learned that wood glue is best when working with wood.

a) data
b) purpose
c) procedure
d) hypothesis
Abigail and Laddaris were testing which color candle would burn the fastest with their teacher. They thought the red one would burn the fastest and made their prediction before doing the experiment.

Demontae and Ariana measured how high they could jump by wearing different types of shoes. From their results, they learned that shoes with rubber soles are more suitable for jumping rather than shoes with plastic soles.

Astronomers send probes to other
planets to take pictures of their surfaces. An astronomer thinks that briny
water flows on Mars because he noticed certain features in one picture of Mars.
Which method did the astronomer use to form this hypothesis?
Reading scientific literature
Making careful observations
Analyzing a natural experiment
Conducting a controlled experiment
A group of scientists has been asked to conduct a study on how an oil spill will affect the surrounding sea life. The scientists decide that the best way to complete the study is to create a model. Which of the following is the most
likely reason that the scientists will use a model instead of creating an actual oil spill study?
They think using a model will provide them with more accurate results.
They can use different species that the plants and animals found in the real ecosystem.
They expect the oil spill in their model to have a much greater effect than an oil spill in the natural environment
They can study the effects of an oil spill without harming surrounding sea life.
In order to help visualize an atom, a scientist may do which of the following?
Perform a controlled experiment
make a model
create a law
develop a theory
A biologist hypothesizes that a squirrel's body size is affected by the inclusion of a particular type of food in its diet. Which is the best method the scientist could use to prove this hypothesis?
Collect data by observing the squirrels eating food in the wild.
Design a controlled experiment to test different types of food.
Analyze data from existing scientific studies on the different types of food.
Develop a theoretical model to predict how the food type will affect body size
On his voyage on the HMS Beagle, Darwin saw fossils of giant sloths whose bones
resembled bones of living sloths, but were much larger in size. Darwin hypothesized that the fossil sloths were related to sloths alive today. This hypothesis was based on
investigations using observation and inference.
experimentations using controlled variables
creating models to create a theory
making predictions
