Question

brocks physics teacher has assigned everyone in his class the task of conducting an experiment. to write up their experiments, everyone must use the outline provided below. match each summary of the steps in brocks experiment to the appropriate category in the experiment outline. step 1. formulate a question about a phenomenon. brock asked, does size affect the buoyancy of an object in water? step 2. collect data. brock placed wooden cubes that were 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water. he observed their buoyancy. then he placed iron cubes of 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy. step 3. form a hypothesis. brock thought: for an object made of a given material, increasing the size of the object wont affect its buoyancy in water. step 4. test the hypothesis through an experiment. brock noted that ice floats in water, whether it is a small ice cube or a huge iceberg. step 5. draw a conclusion. brock said: since all wooden cubes float and all iron cubes sink, size does not affect the buoyancy of an object in water.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the scientific method steps

The scientific - method generally includes formulating a question, collecting data, forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and drawing a conclusion.

Step2: Match the steps

Step 1: "Does size affect the buoyancy of an object in water?" is formulating a question.
Step 2: Placing wooden and iron cubes of different sizes and observing their buoyancy is collecting data.
Step 3: "For an object made of a given material, increasing the size won't affect its buoyancy in water" is forming a hypothesis.
Step 4: Noting that ice floats in water (mentioning different - sized ice) is testing the hypothesis.
Step 5: "Since all wooden cubes float and all iron cubes sink, size does not affect the buoyancy of an object in water" is drawing a conclusion.

Answer:

Step 1: Formulate a question
Step 2: Collect data
Step 3: Form a hypothesis
Step 4: Test the hypothesis
Step 5: Draw a conclusion
