Question

Ty and Crystal are working together to learn about surface tension. They each add pennies to their own cup of water to see how many they can add before the cup overflows. Ty is able to add 15 pennies.

Crystal is able to add 38.
What should their next step be?
They should each claim that their answer is right
They should discuss differences in their methods.
They should record their results and move on to a different investigation
They should repeat the experiment using different pennies.

Answer 1

B). They should discuss differences in their method.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, the next step in the given process would be 'the discussion of differences that exist between their methods which they are using to fill the cup.' This would help them understand how the difference in methods of putting water into the cup directly affects the tendency of the liquid to contract into the least surface area. They would also get to know how temperature affects the increase or decrease of surface tension. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
