Delilah followed these steps of an investigation:
• Collect five objects made of different types of metal. • Place them on a large laboratory table. • Touch each metal object with a magnet and lift slowly. • Record observations.
Which of the following statements is Delilah most likely testing?
All types of metal are attracted to magnets
Each magnet can lift the metal object to the same height.
Larger magnets can pick up heavier metal objects than smaller magnets can.
Heavier metal objects are more attracted to magnets than lighter metal objects are.
Rashan is performing an investigation using several earthworms. He places a rectangular box under a bright lamp and covers one-half of the box so that it is shaded.

Based on his investigation, which of the following is an observation and NOT a personal opinion?
Earthworms are afraid of light.
Earthworms like staying together.
Earthworms move away from light.
Earthworms like living in the ground.
Gabriel is designing an experiment to see whether sugar or artificial sweetener will attract the greater number of ants. Which statement best describes why Gabriel should write down his experimental procedure?
The exact experiment can be repeated by others and the results compared.
The experiment can be changed by others to get different results.
The data will help people decide what type of sweetener to use.
The data will show people which ants are more common.

Both the salt and the sand settled to the bottom of the jar.
The salt settled to the bottom of the jar, and the sand dissolved in the water.
The salt dissolved in the water, and the sand settled to the bottom of the jar.
One morning, Ryan noticed there were tiny drops of water on the grass as he walked to school. That afternoon, he did not see any drops of water on the grass when he returned home. Which of the following best explains what happened to the drops of water?
