Two students perform the same experiment, but get different results. What should they do?
Use the results from whoever finished first.
Use the results from the older student.
Say that both results are correct
Go over the procedures to see if there is something that the students did differently.
An example of a two-dimensional model is
a paper map
a doll house
a globe
a model car
Why is it important for scientists to keep detailed and accurate records of experiments?
**Select ALL correct answers**
To make sure that they spent enough time on the experiment.
To share information with other scientists.
So that the information can be used to answer other scientist's questions (research).
So that if other scientists wanted to do the same experiment, they could perform it the exact same way and compare their results.
To practice their writing skills
Two scientists are rolling a ball down a ramp and measuring the distance that the ball travels. Explain why the two scientists might have different results.
The scientists used different kinds of balls.
The ramps were different kinds of surfaces.
One scientist pushed the ball down the ramp harder, than the other scientist.
The ramp height was different.
Scientists just make up the data that they record.
