Astudent formulated a hypothesis that cotton will grow larger bolls ( pods ) if magnesium is added to the soil. the student has two experimental fields of cotton, one with magnesium and one without. which data should be collected to support this hypothesis?
(a) height of the cotton plants in both fields
(b) diameter of the cotton bolls in both fields
(c) length of the growing season in both fields
(d) color of the cotton bolls in both fields

For a family dinner, jose’s mom baked a loaf of bread. during the meal, his grandmother commented, “this bread is so dense! ” what do you think his grandmother meant by the word dense? you have some ideas regarding density already, but this experiment will enrich your understanding of the relationship between mass, volume and the density of objects. when making measurements in this experiment we will be using si units, the international system of units. the purpose of using si units is to have the ability to communicate and compare data results with other experiments without having to make conversions. measurement symbol si unit length m meter mass kg kilogram volume l liters density kg/l kilograms per liter any calculations that are performed during this experiment will ultimately be reported in scientific notation. recall that scientific notation is extremely important when we have data that is extremely small or large. scientists rely on a standard form of communication to quickly make hypotheses and judgements based on data. what is the density of block a? a0kg/l what is the density of block b? a1kg/l what is the density of block c? a2kg/l what is the density of block d? a3kg/l what is the density of block e? a4kg/l which block is the densest? a5
