3.Write the three meaningful formula arrangement of the variables speed,distance and time.
Let v = speed, t = time and d = distance
v = d/t
d = vt
t = d/v
4.Summarize the four-step problem solving progress by listening the four steps mentioned in the
text.
The four-step problem are First observe what is given.
Second make a hypothesis.
Third test the hypothesis.
Last give a conclusion .
5.Why is it important to only change one variable at a time in an experiment?
A:It is important to only change one variable at a time in an experiment because can affect the
results of an experiment.
6.You wish to do an experiment to determinate how a balls size affect its speed as it rolls down a
ramp.List the experimental and control variables in this experiment.
A:
7.Explain the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable.
A:The dependent variable goes on the y-axis which is vertical and the other side independent
variable goes on the horizontal or x-axis.
8.Why are the graphs often more useful than tables of data?

A:The graphs are often more useful than tables of data because they are more working on the
data than the table.
