  1. A student tests whether fertilizer amount affects plant height. Which variable is the dependent variable?

    Answer: Plant height

    The dependent variable is the outcome measured in response to changes in the independent variable.

  2. Why should an experiment include a control group?

    Answer: To provide a baseline for comparing results

    A control group receives no treatment, so results from the experimental group can be compared against it.

  3. A student measures the same object's mass three times and gets 24.1 g, 24.0 g, and 24.2 g. The accepted mass is 30.0 g. The measurements are best described as:

    Answer: Precise but not accurate

    The values are close to each other (precise) but far from the true value (not accurate).

  4. Which type of graph is best for showing how temperature changes over a 24-hour period?

    Answer: Line graph

    Line graphs show continuous change over time.

  5. A recipe needs 3/4 cup of sugar for 12 cookies. Using a proportion, how much sugar is needed for 36 cookies?

    Answer: 2 1/4 cups

    36 is 3 times 12, so 3 × 3/4 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 cups.

  6. Which tool is most appropriate for measuring the volume of a liquid in a lab?

    Answer: Graduated cylinder

    A graduated cylinder is designed to measure liquid volume accurately.

  7. When estimating 487 × 21 to check a calculation, which estimate is most reasonable?

    Answer: 10,000

    Rounding to 500 × 20 gives 10,000.
