2023 Science Review

Janice found two seashells when she went to the beach. They appear to be almost the same size, but they have different shapes. When she holds them in her hands, they seem to have about the same mass. She wants to find out how similar they really are. How could she figure out if their volume is the same?

• Use a scale to find which has the most mass

• Fill each one with water to find which will hold the most

•   Drop each one in a beaker of water to find which raises the water level the most.

• Measure the length of each one with a measuring tape to find which is the longest

Sania wanted to find out if different types of liquids such as water, soda, orange juice, and milk had different masses. She poured each liquid into a graduated cylinder and then used a digital scale to determine their mass. Below are the materials that Sania used to complete her investigation.

• only the type of liquid

•   everything except the type of liquid

• only the amount of liquid used

• everything, she is allowed to change any variable
