full of water?
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?

periment? ferent chemical pollutants
dissolve in water
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
6. Which question requires a controlled experiment to Which type of rock con-
answer? tains the most calcium?
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?
7. Sir Isaac Newton discovered that the force of gravity Law
between two masses increases if the masses increase,

relationship.
Which type of scientific statement is this?
Hypothesis
Theory
Law
Prediction
8. The well-accepted scientific explanation for many char- Theory
acteristics of Earth's crust states that the crust is bro-
ken into several large plates. These plates move slow-
ly 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.
Which type of scientific idea is this explanation an ex-
ample of?
Hypothesis
Theory
Law
Prediction
9. A student proposes that sugar will dissolve faster in Hypothesis
rubbing alcohol than in water. The student reasons
that sugar and rubbing alcohol both contain carbon so
they will mix more easily.
