Which question can best be answered using the data from the investigation?
Do students with less mass move faster?
Does having more wheels make you faster?
Does it take longer to get to school than to get home?
Which student takes the least time to travel a mile?
What should the students do to produce more precise data regarding the speeds of the methods used?
Conduct the study for 3 more days.
Take a different route home in the evening.
Switch the method used to get to school in the afternoon.
Use a different timer in the afternoon than in the morning.
Student 3 and Student 4 noticed that they had the same average time. The students want to do a second investigation to determine who is faster. How can the students best determine who is faster during the second investigation?
The students should switch methods. Student 3 should skateboard and Student 4 should roller skate.
Both students should use the same method they used for the first investigation.
The students should take turns using the same method. Student 3 should use the skateboard first and then Student 4 should use the skateboard.
The students should do only half of the investigation. Student 3 should be timed going to school and Student 4 should be timed going back.
For the second investigation, Student 2 decided to use a bike instead of a kick scooter. She was able to obtain an average time of 4 minutes. Which describes Student 1's first investigation and Student 2's second investigation?
Student 2 created a larger unbalanced force than Student 1, resulting in a slower speed and longer time.
Student 2 created a larger unbalanced force than Student 1, resulting in a faster speed and shorter time.
Student 2 created a smaller unbalanced force than Student 1, resulting in a slower speed and longer time.
Student 2 created a smaller unbalanced force than Student 1, resulting in a faster speed and shorter time.
What question does the student's data most likely help her answer?
Do larger wheels make you go faster?
Do smaller wheels make it easier to turn?
Do taller wheels make the ride smoother?
Do big wheels cost more than small wheels?
The student looked at the parts on her skateboard and came up with 4 questions. Which question could scientists help her test?
Why are skateboard wheels bright colors?
How can I become a famous skateboarder?
Do girls enjoy skateboarding more than boys?
Does an all wood deck last longer than a deck made of fiberglass?
The student wants to use a scooter to go to school. She cannot decide whether to use an electric or gas powered scooter. Electric scooters use a battery that can be charged overnight and used the next day. Gas powered scooters burn gasoline and release fumes in the air the ways cars and trucks do. Her school is an environmentally friendly campus. Which would be the better choice to keep her in agreement with the school values?
Use an electric because it's quiet.
Use an electric because it reduces pollution.
Use a gas powered because it is faster.
Use a gas powered because it is more widely used.
How can the experiment be changed to be sure that as much sugar as possible has dissolved?
Use less water at all 3 temperatures.
Stir the tea constantly at all 3 temperatures.
Use larger sugar cubes in the 40 ° celsius tea.
Use a larger cup to hold the 50 ° celsius tea.

CHOOSE 2
Mixture 1
Mixture 2
Mixture 3
Mixture 4

Which change would most likely make the paddle wheel turn faster?
Place the trough higher above the paddle wheel.
Increase the temperature of the water.
Remove the paddles from the paddle wheel.
Make the trough longer.
Which statement correctly describes Observation 1 of Student 3?
The feather has less mass than the hammer, so the force of gravity on the feather is greater than the force of gravity on the hammer.
The hammer has more mass than the feather, so the force of gravity on the hammer is greater than the force of gravity on the feather.
Since both objects hit the ground at the same time, they both experience the same force of gravity.
Since the mass of the moon doesn't change, both objects experience the same force of gravity.
Which statement correctly explains Observation 2 from Student 3?
The astronauts still experience the force of gravity but the space capsule and everything inside it are falling all at the same time.
The astronauts still feel the force of gravity but they are so far away that the gravity points away from Earth.
The astronauts are floating because they are too far away from Earth to have mass.
The astronauts are floating because their mass is too small to feel a force of gravity.
Which trial results in the largest gravitational force?
Trial 1
Trial 2
Trial 3
Trial 4
Students observe the planets on a computer screen. They note that the outer planets move more slowly and have a larger orbit than the inner planets. Which question is best answered with this information?
Why do the number of days in a year differ on different planets?
Why do the inner and outer planets have different compositions?
Why do the planets have different masses?
Why do the planets orbit around the sun instead of each other?
What will the force of gravity be for the trial?
F ÷ 4
F ÷ 2
Fx3
