We'll be having a short quiz on the lifeboat investigation in science Monday....Students will be allowed to use notes and journals. (We created a page of notes today that should be snapped into their binders under the science tab. - It was an old quiz that covers the same information that will be covered on Monday's quiz.)
Students should know:
1. The capacity of the boat and the arrangement of the passengers were variables affecting the number of passengers the boat would hold.
2. Capacity is a measure of how much the boat would hold measured by the amount of water it would hold in milliliters.
3. Boats with greater capacity held more passengers and boats with smaller capacity held fewer passengers.
4. A controlled experiment only changes one variable at a time.
5. How to plot points on a two coordinate graph.
6. How to read a two coordinate line graph.
7. An object in water will float if it can displace an amount of water that weighs as much as the object.
