Everyone in mrs. blaylock's science class must perform an experiment for the science fair this year. to begin this process, mrs. blaylock asks her students to brainstorm four different questions that they could study.

one of mrs. blaylock's students writes down the following questions.
how does the mass of a toy car affect its speed down a ramp?

how does the position of the sun, moons, planets and stars affect a person's personality traits and daily behavior patterns?

which type of pan - copper, aluminum, or glass - heats up the quickest?

which type of chemicals can remove the cell wall of a plant cell?
which of the above questions cannot be answered through a scientific investigation?

Explanation:

Science or scientific investigations deal with objective phenomena; this is phenomena which can be described by using objective measurements.

The effect of the position of the Sun, moons, planets and stars on a person's personality and daily behavior patterns is not a scientific question because none scientific field deals with that kind of questions.

Only, a pseudoscience, this is a set of beliefs that have not been scientifically proved, may deal with a question about the effect of the position of some heavenly objects can affect a person's personality traits and daily behavior of patterns.

On the other hand, the aspects deal with in the other questions (the mass of a toy car, the speed down a ramp, the heating from different type of pans, how different type of chemicals remove the cell wall of a plant cell) are measurable and testable (falsifiable), which make them objects of science (like physics, chemistry, and biology)

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
