The procedure below is designed to test how
water temperature affects the rate at which sugar
dissolves.
1. Measure 150 milliliters of water into each
beaker.
2.
Heat water to three different
temperatures.
3. Put 5 grams of sugar into each of the beakers at the same
time.
4. Stir
and record the time it takes for the sugar to completely dissolve.
Which additional step will
most improve the investigation?
a. | Use 200 milliliters of water in each
beaker. | b. | Record the initial and final temperatures of the
water. | c. | Stir at different rates for each
beaker. | d. | Record the times when sugar is half
dissolved. |

Some
students measure the mass of a small pile of leaves before and after the leaves decompose. Each time
the students measure the mass, they place a container with the decomposing leaves on a balance.
Before recording the mass of the leaves, the students must do which of the
following?a. | Add leaves from the other
plants to the container | b. | Allow the leaves to settle in the container for a few
days | c. | Subtract the mass of the container | d. | Use a metric ruler to measure the volume of the
container |
