9
Mass and weight are different because...
mass depends on the force of gravity.
weight depends on the amount of matter an object has.
weight depends on the force of gravity.
mass does not depend on the amount of matter something has.

In an experiment, the responding variable can also be called the
operational variable
dependent variable
manipulated variable
independent variable
16
A line graph shows
changes in the responding variable only.
changes in the manipulated variable only.
how the responding variable responds to the manipulated
how the manipulated variable changes on its own.
17
To calculate the density of an object you would
divide its mass by its length
multiply its mass by its volume
divide its mass by its volume
divide its volume by its mass
18
Thinking and questioning is the start of the scientific inquiry process.
False
True

The factor that may change in response to the manipulated variable is called the
operational variable
independent variable
hypothetical variable
responding variable

inferring
predicting
classifying
