Question

match the part of the experiment with the step in the scientific method. i think the car will take 60 seconds to reach the end of the track race cars can travel up to 120 mph according to the book. how fast can the car go down the track? each car has a different speed. the third car can go down the track in 40 seconds. the first car took 90 seconds, second car took 80 seconds and third car took 40 seconds i timed three cars as they raced down the track. 1. ask a question 2. create a hypothesis 3. gather the data 4. formulate a conclusion 5. do experiments 6. do some background research

Explanation:

• "I think the car will take 60 seconds to reach the end of the track" is a prediction, so it's creating a hypothesis.
• "Race cars can travel up to 120 mph according to the book" is background - related info, so it's doing background research.
• "How fast can the car go down the track?" is a query, so it's asking a question.
• "Each car has a different speed. The third car can go down the track in 40 seconds" is part of collected data, so it's gathering data.
• "The first car took 90 seconds, second car took 80 seconds and third car took 40 seconds" is also data collection, so it's gathering data.
• "I timed three cars as they raced down the track" is an action of conducting an experiment, so it's doing experiments.

Answer:

• I think the car will take 60 seconds to reach the end of the track: 2. Create a hypothesis
• Race cars can travel up to 120 mph according to the book: 6. Do some background research
• How fast can the car go down the track?: 1. Ask a question
• Each car has a different speed. The third car can go down the track in 40 seconds: 3. Gather the data
• The first car took 90 seconds, second car took 80 seconds and third car took 40 seconds: 3. Gather the data
• I timed three cars as they raced down the track: 5. Do experiments
