Answer Key/Rubric

  1. Graphs should be matched as follows:

    1. Graph II
    2. Graph III
    3. Graph I
  1. Answers will vary, but should be similar to:
  • The bath water is increasing at a steady rate in the beginning.
  • The water is turned off and the level of water remains the same for a period of time.
  • The bath water is then let out at a steady rate that is a little slower than it was put in.
  • The level ends up where it started, most likely at zero
  1. Graphs should be similar to:

  1. Situations will vary.  Be sure to check that the answer key is accurate.
