List the steps you would take to find the mass of 30 mL of a liquid.

1. Use a balance to take the mass of an empty graduated cylinder. 

2. Press zero on the balance.

3. Pour the liquid into the graduated cylinder. This will give you the mass of just the liquid.

Based on the data table below, write the evidence and reasoning to answer the question "What is the most popular subject in school?"  

According to the data, 62 students preferred science as their favorite school subject. This is the most amount of students, with social studies coming in second with 47 students. According to our evidence, science must be the most popular school subject since the most amount of students (62) preferred it to other subjects in school.
