Make a prediction of this: A group of scientists recently proposed the idea that beets should replace salt for melting winter ice. The scientists pointed out that because beets grow underground, they continue to grow in freezing conditions. Thus, they hypothesized, an extract of beet roots could melt ice on roads in winter. To test this hypothesis, the scientists froze equal volumes of water on two separate plates. They spread an extract of beet roots on one plate of ice and sprinkled an equal amount of salt over the other plate. After keeping both plates at 0°C (the temperature at which water freezes) for a period of time, they measured the amount of melted water on each plate. Their results showed that the plate treated with beet extract contained more liquid water than the plate treated with salt.

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.
