1. A student gathered two boxes of the same size made of different materials: glass and clear plastic. She placed them on a windowsill in the sun for an hour and then measured the temperature of the air in each box. Which statement best describes the purpose of the experiment? to relate the type of box material to the temperature of the air within the box to relate the size of the box to the temperature of the air within the box to relate the type of box material to the mass of the box to relate the amount of time a box is exposed to sunlight to the temperature of the air within the box 2. What is the average time for the toy car to move 1.0 m on dirt? 20.2 s 24.4 s 28.1 s 60.7 s 3. A student collected data about the distance a ball falls over time. Which type of graph should he use to represent the data? circle graph scatterplot histogram bar graph

1. The only thing done differently in this experiment is the type of material used in making the boxes, hence the experiment must be about that. Before proceeding to answering this question, we must have this at the back of our minds.

We can gather from the experiment that the boxes are of the same size and were subjected to sunlight for an hour (the same time duration for both). Hence, the temperature of the air inside the box will only be affected by the type of material the box is made of since the boxes have the same size and were subjected to sunlight for the same duration.

From the options provided, the best description for this experiment is; to relate the type of box material to the temperature of the air within the box.

2. The question is incomplete. The value for speed/velocity needed to calculate the average time is missing.

However, the formula needed here is velocity = distance ÷ time

3. There are two variables in this experiment; distance and time

The type of graph that shows two variables on it (of the options provided) is the scatterplot.
