Answer:
Independent variable: Adding/not adding soil.
Dependent variables: Does the plant grow? Amount of leaves, plant length.
Controlled variables: Type of plant used, amount of sunlight received, pot used for plant, amount of water given, temperature of soil, etc.
Explanation:
Independent variable: The thing that you want to change. To see if plants need soil to grow, you would need to either add or remove soil altogether.
Dependent variables: The thing that is being measured. By adding your independent variable, you should be able to answer certain questions.
Controlled variables: Things you want to keep the same for each experimental group. For example, if you used different plants, your results could be affected negatively as some plants might rely on soil less than others/grow at a slower or faster pace.
Answer:
1. gravel of the sand: a part is dissolved and the remainder is grouped at the bottom of the beaker.
2. drop of sunflower oil: It is not absorbed and heaps on the surface of the water contained in the beaker.
Explanation:
Gravel of the sand is a polar substance. This means that this substance has the ability to dissolve and mix with water in a system in which both were placed together, such as a beaker, for example. However, the beaker limits the amount of water, which limits its ability to dissolve polar substances. Therefore, depending on the quantity, the gravel of the sand, when placed in a beaker with water, will dissolve, in parts, what is not dissolved will accumulate in the bottom of the beacker, because the gravel of the sand is denser than the water.
With the drop of sunflower oil the exact opposite happens. This is because drops of oil are nonpolar substances, which means that they do not have the ability to be dissolved in water. This means that when dropped into the beaker with water, the drop of sunflower oil will not dissolve, but will pile up on the water surface, because it is less dense than water.
