Question 4 • MS-Physical Science

Bena thinks that dissolving more salt in water causes the mixture’s freezing temperature to change.Which is the best type of scientific investigation for Bena to use to study this?

Answer
A
an experimental investigation, because it can provide the most data
B
a comparative investigation, because it uses a wide range of variables
C
an experimental investigation, because it allows for the control of variables
D
a comparative investigation, because it would take the least amount of time

Explanation

Bena is testing whether the amount of salt causes a change in the water’s freezing temperature. An experimental investigation lets her change the amount of salt while keeping other conditions, such as the amount of water, controlled. This makes it possible to determine whether salt concentration affects the freezing temperature, so the best choice is an experimental investigation because it allows for the control of variables.
