imagine you are volunteering in a 1 st grade classroom. The students recently learned about the water cycle. One student raises her hand and asks, “I heard that elements like carbon can cycle too. How does carbon cycle? Is it like how water cycles?” How would you explain the cycling of carbon to this 1 st grade class? Keep in mind that the students have likely not taken an advanced science course yet!

Air pressure is measured in pascals. for a professional american football game, the ball should be inflated to about 90,000 pascals. scientists studied the effects of air temperature on the pressure inside american footballs by taking these steps: 1. prepare 100 footballs. 2. measure each football's air pressure. 3. divide footballs into 10 groups. 4. place the groups in different lockers cooled to different air temperatures. 5. after 12 hours, remove the footballs from lockers. 6. measure each football's pressure again. 7. compare the new pressures to the starting pressures. what two terms best describe the variable "air pressure inside the football" in this experiment? independent, qualitative independent, quantitative dependent, qualitative dependent, quantitative
