Write a problem in proper form.

Water boils faster at higher elevation.
If the water is at a higher elevation, then it will boil faster. If the water is at a higher elevation, then it will boil faster, because lower air density. Hot water will boil faster.
If water is warmer, then it will boil faster.
If water is warmer, then it will boil faster, because the molecules are already moving fast therefore less energy is needed. 21
Shleboski got an A on his science test because he studied for 30 minutes everyday for 4 days prior to the test. Harry wants to be a better bike rider. He thinks if he rides 25 minutes each day he will get better and be able to do jumps like Grant.
If one studies prior to a test then one has a better chance of getting a better grade because they have more practice. 22
Checkpoint #2 ­­I Can Statement 3­6
1.) Explain the difference between qualitative and quantitative observations. Tell if these observation are qualitative or quantitative:
*There are 10 pens on my desk._________________
*His hair is brown.______________
2.) A Problem is always in the form of a ______________________.
3.) Write a problem for the following observation:
Betty wants to see if red or purple food coloring spreads faster.
4.) Write a hypothesis for the above situation.

I learned...
If one lives a greater distance from school, then it will take them longer to get to school, because, they have a greater distance to travel. I learned that as one lives farther from school, it will take them longer. My hypothesis was correct. Peope who live farther away get to school faster. People who live closer get to school in a longer amount of time. 41
