Question

Instructions: There are two options for completing the lab. You can either complete the lab at home over the course of three days or watch the teacher-led video and record your observations. Links to the hands-on lab and video observation lab are on the 02.03 assessment page. Hypothesis:

Option 1: The egg will increase in size as it absorbs water.
Option 2: The egg will decrease in size as it loses water.
Option 3: The egg's size will remain the same.
Option 4: I don't have a hypothesis.

Answer 1

The student is investigating how the amplitude and period of waves are affected by the transfer of energy from a cork dropped into water.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this lab, the student is investigating how the amplitude and period of waves are affected by the transfer of energy from a cork dropped into water. The cork initially has potential energy which is converted to kinetic energy as it falls. When the cork hits the water, the energy is transferred through the water in waves. By measuring the amplitude and period of these waves, the student can determine how the energy transfer affects them.
