The time until Old Faithful's next eruption is affected by how long the previous eruption lasted. The data in the table are the result of observational testing. Do the data support the statement above? Explain.
Scientists have observed and recorded volcanic eruptions for hundreds of years. The map to the left shows that data. Which location—A, B, or C—is most likely to have a volcanic eruption?

Fill in the blank in the hypothesis. Any substance dissolved in water will (a) the temperature at which the mixture freezes and melts.
When you identify and control variables, you determine which conditions should stay the same and which one should be changed. Circle the variable that will be tested. Underline the variables that will remain the same.
the temperature of the freezer
the types of thermometers
the material that is dissolved in the water
the kinds of cups
the amount of water
Describe a simple experiment testing one variable that you could conduct using the same materials and procedures described in this investigation.
What conclusion can you draw based on the melting point experiment?
Decide if the hypothesis is supported or not. If not, try rethinking your hypothesis. Then design a new experiment to test it.
Ask a well-defined question you could answer using experimental testing.
Plan, describe, and implement an experiment that tests the effect of only one variable.
