In the course of a conversation, you observe that three of your friends like horror movies. Horror movies happen to be your favorite type of movie as well. You also know
that all of these friends were born in the same week that you were, even in the same year.
An astrology-loving friend hypothesizes that people born in that week like horror movies more than other genres of movies. You decide to use the scientific method to test
this hypothesis.
Part A
What should you do next?
O Come up with a theory to explain why movie preference is related to birth week.
O Perform experiments to test your hypothesis.
O Propose several alternative hypotheses.
O Refine your hypothesis.

- Is boiling water a physical or chemical change? Provide evidence from the pictures. When______changes occur, Written excerpt-The water being boiled is pure water. When the water is heated the kinetic energy of the water molecules increases, meaning that the molecules begin to move faster. As the speed increases they begin to overcome their attractions to the other molecules. This eventually allows the water to change from a liquid to a gas as molecules escape out of the liquid and into the air. In the written excerpt it indicates that?

I have some familiarity with these two words and most of my familiarity is in terms of cooking. There are a lot of examples of heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures in the kitchen. A heterogenous mixture is one made up of multiple individual components, like a chocolate chip cookie or a bowl of cereal and milk. While the ingredients are blended together, they are still visibly separate. A homogeneous mixture is one that blends to the point of no individual components being visible. An example of this could be simple syrup or a pitcher of sweet tea or lemonade. The terms heterogeneous and homogeneous refer to mixtures of materials in chemistry. The difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures is the degree to which the materials are mixed together and the uniformity of their composition….just like as in the everyday usage of these terms. I feel like the similarities in the usage of…arrow_forward
