Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time
hope that helps
1) d
2) b because the independent variable is the thing you change/control in an experiment
3) c because the dependent variable is the thing being measured in an experiment
4)hmm it might be d, as c and a are both correct as different sized feeders would make it an unfair test and different types of food would as well
5) c
6) a
7) b obviously because if he activated them at different times then the ones activated last would have an advantage
