,Which topic would be appropriate for a controlled experiment?
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 - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
Determining how fast different chemical pollutants dissolve in water
Which question requires a controlled experiment to answer?
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? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Which type of rock contains the most calcium?
Sir Isaac Newton discovered that the force of gravity between two
masses increases if the masses increase, and decreases if the distance
between the masses increases. No experiments have ever contradicted
this relationship.
Which type of scientific statement is this?

Prediction - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Law
The well-accepted scientific explanation for many characteristics of
Earth's crust states that the crust is broken into several large plates.
These plates move slowly 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 example of?
Hypothesis
Theory
Law
Prediction - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Theory
A student proposes that sugar will dissolve faster in rubbing alcohol than
in water. The student reasons that sugar and rubbing alcohol both contain
carbon so they will mix more easily.
