A scientist is studying a species of toad native to the Amazon rainforest. The toad was once abundant in its native region, but in the last 10 years it has become rare. The scientist knows that the bodies of water that the toad uses for breeding have increased in average annual temperature by 4°C over this same time period due to human activities. He hypothesizes that as the temperature of the water increases, the number of tadpoles that reach maturity in the water decreases. To test his hypothesis, he brings four pairs of healthy, breeding, adult toads to his laboratory. He places one pair of toads in each of four environments, which are all designed to replicate the toads' natural environment. Each environment includes a 1,000-liter pool of water and equal amounts of natural plant life. Each environment has an air temperature of 33.0°C. The water temperature, however, varies in each environment, ranging from 26°C (the average temperature 10 years ago) to 30°C (the average temperature today). The scientist intends to allow the toads to breed and then compare the number of tadpoles that reach maturity in each

Sally and sue were investigating the topic of friction in science. they used a small car and a ramp as seen in the picture to test what they were learning. they knew that they slipped easily on waxed floors but not on carpet, so they decided to change the material on the surface of the ramp to see what happened. they planned to use glass, carpet, aluminum foil, and sandpaper and run the car down the ramp over each surface. what would be the best research question to guide the girls' experiment? a) does the amount of surface area affect the friction on the moving car? b) will the car travel fastest on the glass surface? c) how does the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the car? d)do rougher surfaces tend to create more friction than smooth surfaces?
