Question

Hypothesis: Which materials do you think will meet the special needs of Parvus' house? Use the drop-down selections to create your hypotheses. Be sure to record your hypotheses on your lab report. If we use Select to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler. If we use Select to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler. If we use Select to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate. If we use Select to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks the options for each hypothetical statement. The options for each hypothesis are:

wood, clay brick, iron, aluminum, copper, or nickel

The answers to each hypothesis are:

1. Wood

2. Clay brick

3. Copper

4. Iron

Explanation:

Firstly, a hypothesis is a testable explanation given to explain an observed problem or to answer a question. In this case, "which materials will meet the special needs of Parvus' house?" is the question.

The question requires one to complete the given hypotheses using the options given.

- If we use WOOD to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler. The best answer is "wood" because wood conducts/absorbs heat the least among the materials that can be used for roofing, hence, it will make the inside of the house cooler.

- If we use CLAY BRICK to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler. Clay brick is the best material for building walls and floors of a house among the option. Also, it conducts heat fairly making the interior of the house cool.

- If we use COPPER to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate. Copper, among all other metal, is the best conductor of electricity due to its properties including low resistivity. Hence, using copper will make electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.

- If we use IRON to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure. Iron is the metal with the best magnetic property. Therefore, using it to construct the latches on the windows and doors will guarantee magnetic security.
