,Monitoring changes in phosphorus levels of a lake. Answer:
Calculating how much energy is associated with a hurricane
◉ Which question could be answered with a controlled experiment?
Does ice melt faster in an empty glass or in a glass full of water?
Do all planets have the same shape of orbit around the sun?
What is the maximum distance between Earth and Jupiter?
What is the length of the longest river in North America?. Answer:
Does ice melt faster in an empty glass or in a glass full of water?
◉ Which topic would be appropriate for a controlled experiment?
Determining how fast different chemical pollutants dissolve in water
Comparing the elements present in different stars
Measuring how fast a river flows
Predicting the path of a tornado. Answer: Determining how fast
different chemical pollutants dissolve in water
◉ Which question requires a controlled experiment to answer?
Which type of rock contains the most calcium?
, Which planet has the most moons?
Which elements are found in Earth's atmosphere?
Which fossils formed earliest in Earth's history?. Answer: Which
type of rock contains the most calcium?
◉ Sir Isaac Newton discovered that the force of gravity between two
masses increases if the masses increase, and decreases if the
distance between the masses increases. No experiments have ever
contradicted this relationship.
Which type of scientific statement is this?
Hypothesis
Theory
Law
Prediction. Answer: Law
◉ The well-accepted scientific explanation for many characteristics
of Earth's crust states that the crust is broken into several large
plates. These plates move slowly over the mantle below because of
convection and other processes. Earthquakes and volcanoes are
most common at places where the plates interact. Evidence from
physics, chemistry, and geology supports this explanation.
