. You and your friend are walking along a beach in Maine on January 15, at 8:00 am.
2. You notice a thermometer on a nearby building that reads -1 degrees C.
3. You also notice that there is snow on the roof of the building and icicles hanging from the roof.
4. You further notice a pool of sea water in the sand near the ocean.
5. Your friend looks at the icicles and the pool and says, "How come the water on the roof is frozen and the sea water is not?"
6. You answer, "I think that the salt in the sea water keeps it from freezing at -1 degrees C."
7. You go on to say, "And I think under the same conditions, the same thing will happen tomorrow."
8. Your friend asks, "How can you be sure?" You answer, "I'm going to get some fresh water and some salt water and expose them to a temperature of -1 degrees C and see what happens."

Please Help!!!!!!!
A. Statement 5 "How come the water on the roof is frozen and the sea water is not?" states a problem.
B. Statements 2, 3, 4, and 6 contain data (information).
- Statement 2 provides the information about the temperature, -1 degrees C.
- Statement 3 describes the presence of snow on the roof and icicles hanging from it.
- Statement 4 mentions the observation of a pool of sea water in the sand near the ocean.
- Statement 6 states the belief that the salt in sea water keeps it from freezing at -1 degrees C.
C. Statement 6 "I think that the salt in the sea water keeps it from freezing at -1 degrees C." contains a hypothesis.
D. Statement 8 "I'm going to get some fresh water and some salt water and expose them to a temperature of -1 degrees C and see what happens." describes an experiment.
A. The statement that states a problem is #5: "Your friend looks at the icicles and the pool and says, 'How come the water on the roof is frozen and the sea water is not?'"
B. The statements that contain data are:
- #2: "You notice a thermometer on a nearby building that reads -1 degrees C."
- #3: "You also notice that there is snow on the roof of the building and icicles hanging from the roof."
- #4: "You further notice a pool of sea water in the sand near the ocean."
C. The statement that contains a hypothesis is #6: "You answer, 'I think that the salt in the sea water keeps it from freezing at -1 degrees C.'"
D. The statement in which an experiment is described is #8: "Your friend asks, 'How can you be sure?' You answer, 'I'm going to get some fresh water and some salt water and expose them to a temperature of -1 degrees C and see what happens.'"
To summarize:
- The problem is stated in #5.
- Data is provided in #2, #3, and #4.
- A hypothesis is presented in #6.
