|---|---|
| Ariana performed an experiment to find how water affected the growth of roses, she created the experiment and repeated the experiment multiple times, she also had her friend Lilly do the same experiment as well, did Lilly use replication or repetition? | replication |
| Daniel had an experiment that he repeated multiple times; repetition. why would he do this? | He would use repetition to try to reduce error for the most accurate results. |

| If you make a sound under water in a pool would your friend 1 who is under water or friend 2 who is sitting by the pool hear the sound first? | The friend under water would hear it first. |
| If you make a sound in space, why can’t others hear it? | Sound cannot travel in space. |
| Billy wanted to test how water evaporates with different water temperatures. He sets up the experiment with room temperature, hot, and cold. He measures how much time it takes the water to evaporate. What is the independent variable? | Independent variable = temperature of the water. |
| Billy wanted to test how water evaporates with different water temperatures. He sets up the experiment with room temperature, hot, and cold. He measures how much time it takes the water to evaporate. What is the dependent variable? | Dependent variable = time it takes the water to evaporate. |
| What are things that people who live in older houses do to make their houses more energy efficient? | Use efficient household appliances update windows and lights. |
| Your community is building a new school on a tight budget. The town planners do not want to buy energy efficient equipment for the school because it will cost more. How does science influence this decision? | Science can provide data on efficient appliances and cost savings. |
| How would an unsupported hypothesis still be useful to scientists? | It can lead to new investigations. |
| What is the purpose of creating a new hypothesis after the old one was not supported? | To test the results given by the first experiment. |
| What type of wave can be used in space? | Electromagnetic waves. |
| What is the difference between the waves radar use and the waves sonar uses? | Radar waves are electromagnetic waves, sonar waves are mechanical waves. |
| Emma and Alex are doing an experiment to see how different liquids affect browning of apples. The liquids they use are water, salted water, lemon juice, and milk. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? | The amount of browning of the apple slice |
| Which two waves on the EM spectrum have a lower and higher frequency than visible light? | infrared and ultraviolet. |
| What is a helpful way to use x-rays? | To view bone without cutting tissue. |
| Ellie is studied volcanos, she discovers that when the lava at the top cools it sinks letting the hotter material rise what type of heat transfer is this? | convection. |
| When the metal spoon is placed in a hot cup of tea. The temperature of the spoon increases. What form of heat transfer is this? | conduction. |
| Explain the relationship of energy level and wavelength? | A longer wavelength means a lower energy level |
| Explain the energy transformations when turning on a laptop. | Chemical > electrical > light, sound, thermal |
| What kind of energies are used in baking a batch of cookies in an over, describe 2 types of transformation. | Electrical to Thermal and Thermal to Kinetic |
| When the frequency is higher what does that tell us about the energy level? | If the frequency is higher than the energy level is higher. |
| Given radio waves have the lowest energy level what does this tell us about the frequency? | The radio waves will have the lowest frequency. |
