Describe the scientific method, and indicate by example how it is used to answer questions about situations we encounter in our every day lives.
The total weight of copper in a vehicle ranges from 15 kilos for a small car to 28 kilos for a luxury car.
As a material scientist you are analyzing a luxury car that has 30 kilos of copper.
What does this indicate about the car’s performance?
Where is copper (Cu) likely to be located in the car? Discuss the physical and chemical properties of copper in your answer.
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.

- A solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Based on these observations, can we determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds?

When making this solution in the lab, the student measured 50.0 ml of water in a measuring cylinder and added that to a beaker. Then the student massed 17.1 grams of sucrose and added it to that beaker. She then mixed the solution well and poured the resulting solution into a graduated cylinder. To her utter shock, the volume of the solution was now 62.0 mL. Explain what happened.
