Question

1. make a claim about the source of error. describe the evidence and reasoning that are consistent with this claim. claim a evidence b reasoning c choices: the amount of energy i measured in the video is less than the theoretical amount of energy. the source of error is that the can of water does not capture all the energy from the combustion. the difference between the measured amount of energy and the theoretical prediction is the energy not captured by the can of water. the amount of energy i measured in the video is more than the theoretical amount of energy. the source of error is that the can of water captures extra energy from the combustion.

Explanation:

The claim should identify the source of error. The most reasonable claim is that the can of water does not capture all the energy from combustion, which is a common source of error in energy - measurement experiments. The evidence is that the measured energy is less than the theoretical amount. The reasoning ties together the claim and evidence, stating that the difference between measured and theoretical energy is the energy not captured by the can of water.

Answer:

Claim: The source of error is that the can of water does not capture all the energy from the combustion.
Evidence: The amount of energy I measured in the video is less than the theoretical amount of energy.
Reasoning: The difference between the measured amount of energy and the theoretical prediction is the energy not captured by the can of water.
