Select the best follow up investigative Question to THIS experiment.

Do dog like to eat Iams food or Purina the best?

Do Gummi Bears grow more in water or soda?

Does adding salt make water boil faster?

Which ingredient in the taco sauce (tomato sauce, vinegar, or salt water) clean the grime off of the pennies the most?

Use the following conclusion paragraph to answer questions 11-20.
My hypothesis was supported.  I stated that Vinegar would remove the most grime off of the penny and it did.  Looking over my results I noticed that water removed none of the grime (dirt) from the penny, however the salt water penny and the tomato sauce penny both had a little bit of grime (dirt) removed from them during the experiment.

Select the best hypothesis for the new experiment.

Vinegar will remove the most grime (dirt) off of the penny.

VINEGAR is the BEST!!

If vinegar is used the penny will have the most grime removed.

IF vinegar is used THEN the penny will have the most grime (dirt) removed.
