In order to make sure an experiment is reliable, scientists need to -
talk with other scientists about the results and change their results to match
perform the experiment more than once
perform the experiment once
use different materials each time they do the experiment
Students puts rocks, pebbles, soil, and water into a jar and shake it up. Once the mixture has settled, what would the students see?
The mixture settles with the largest objects at the top and lease dense at the bottom
The densest particles settle at the bottom, and the smallest ones at the top
The lease dense particles settle on the top, and the pebbles float in the water.
Shaking creates a solution in which all parts are evenly mixed.
