Hypothesis

Answer 1

a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

Question 3

Variable

Answer 3

not consistent or having a fixed pattern; liable to change

Question 4

Control group

Answer 4

Density

Answer 17

the degree of compactness of a substance.

Question 18

Area

Answer 18

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape, or planar lamina, in the plane. Surface area is its analog on the two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional object

Question 19
