Questions for Students
1. How would the appearance of the graph change if larger marbles were used?
[The slope, or steepness of the line, would be greater as the larger marbles displace more water, therefore increasing the rate of change. It would not change the y-intercept.
2. What limitations or restrictions affect the appearance of the graph?
[The line will not increase infinitely as it is limited by the height of the cylinder and the fact that the height of the accumulated marbles will likely exceed the water level at some point.]
3. What effect would marbles of varying sizes have on the graph?
[The plots would not lie on a line but the plots would suggest a linear relationship.]
