Question

brocks physics teacher has assigned everyone in his class the task of conducting an experiment. to write up their experiments, everyone must use the outline provided below. match each summary of the steps in brocks experiment to the appropriate category in the experiment outline.
step 1 formulate a question about a phenomenon - no answers chosen
step 2 collect data - no answers chosen
step 3 form a hypothesis - no answers chosen
step 4 test the hypothesis through an experiment - no answers chosen
step 5 draw a conclusion - no answers chosen
possible answers:
brock placed wooden cubes that were 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water. he observed their buoyancy. then he placed iron cubes of 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy.
brock thought: for an object made of a given material, increasing the size of the object wont affect its buoyancy in water.
brock noted that ice floats in water, whether it is a small ice cube or a huge iceberg.
brock said: since all wooden cubes float and all iron cubes sink, size does not affect the buoyancy of an object in water.
brock asked, does size affect the buoyancy of an object in water?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the step - formulate a question

Brock asked, "Does size affect the buoyancy of an object in water?" So, the match for Step 1 is "Brock asked, 'Does size affect the buoyancy of an object in water?'"

Step2: Identify the step - collect data

Brock placed wooden cubes that were 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy. Then he placed iron cubes of 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy. This is data collection. So, the match for Step 2 is "Brock placed wooden cubes that were 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy. Then he placed iron cubes of 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy."

Step3: Identify the step - form a hypothesis

Brock thought: "For an object made of a given material, increasing the size of the object won't affect its buoyancy in water." This is the hypothesis formation. So, the match for Step 3 is "Brock thought: 'For an object made of a given material, increasing the size of the object won't affect its buoyancy in water.'"

Step4: Identify the step - test the hypothesis through an experiment

There is no new action described specifically for testing the hypothesis as a separate step from data - collection in the given text. But the overall process of placing different sized cubes of different materials can be considered as testing. However, if we strictly look for a distinct action, there is no proper match.

Step5: Identify the step - draw a conclusion

Brock said: "Since all wooden cubes float and all iron cubes sink, size does not affect the buoyancy of an object in water." This is the conclusion. So, the match for Step 5 is "Brock said: 'Since all wooden cubes float and all iron cubes sink, size does not affect the buoyancy of an object in water.'"

Answer:

Step 1: Brock asked, "Does size affect the buoyancy of an object in water?"
Step 2: Brock placed wooden cubes that were 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy. Then he placed iron cubes of 1 cc, 10 cc, and 100 cc in water and observed their buoyancy.
Step 3: Brock thought: "For an object made of a given material, increasing the size of the object won't affect its buoyancy in water."
Step 4: No proper distinct match from the given text
Step 5: Brock said: "Since all wooden cubes float and all iron cubes sink, size does not affect the buoyancy of an object in water."
