B the amount of sunlight
C the type of soil
D the amount of water
5th Grade 10 Answer
Gabrielle wants to perform an experiment to
test how much water bean plants need for
good growth. Which variable should be
changed?
The variable you change
A the type of plant
is the independent or
manipulated variable.
B the amount of sunlight
Since she wants to
C the type of soil
test how much water
bean plants need, it is
D the amount of water
the tested variable.
4th Grade 7 Question
Mala needs to find the density of a small
stone. Which tools would she use to make
the two measurements needed to calculate
density?
A graduate and thermometer
B balance and graduate
C graduate and ruler
D thermometer and balance
4th Grade 7 Answer
Mala needs to find the density of a small
stone. Which tools would she use to make
the two measurements needed to calculate
density?
To find density, you need to
A graduate and thermometer
know the volume and
weight of an object. The
B balance and graduate
balance will find the
weight, and the graduate
C graduate and ruler
will find the volume (by
how much water the rock
D thermometer and balance
displaces).

1,000,000 Question
Tom is doing an experiment. His hypothesis is
that water runs through gravel faster than it
runs through sand or clay. The diagram shows
his setup. He plans to pour equal amounts of
water into the top of each container and then
time how long it takes for water to begin
dripping from the bottom of each. Tom puts
the same amount of soil in each container. The
soil is held in the containers by identical
squares of cloth kept in place by rubber
bands. The containers are fastened to ring
stands.
List at least 3 variables in Tom’s experiment.
Put a star next to the manipulated (test)
variable.
1,000,000 Answer
Some of the variables are:
Type of soil
Amount of soil
Amount of water
Squares of cloth
Containers
Ring stand
Rubber bands
Time for water to go
through the soil
OK smarty pants!
What can Tom do to
improve his set-up so that
his tested variable is the
only thing tested.
Thanks for Playing
Bonus:
Tom should make the
containers the same size.
