Safety comes first. Most primary schools suggest that parents should come along with their children on their way to school. I don't think it's a problem for the parents. They just have to stay at the school gate a little _______. Also, it's very crowded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents may happen. Only _______ school guards is not enough. If parents can help. there will be fewer accidents.

On weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the school's responsibility — not the parents'._______. the time when they have to guard is usually about 7:40 to 8 a.m., the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and late for their work, I don't think this task should fall on the parents.

How to investigate

①Planning

Decide on a scientific problem to investigate

For example, a student named Mary has decided to research into how quickly sugar dissolves(溶解) in water.

Write down your hypothesis

You may already have an idea of what you expect to happen in your investigation. This idea is called your hypothesis. It may not be right! It is just an idea, though it may be based on work in science which you have done before. The aim of your investigation is to test your idea.

Decide what variables(变量) you are dealing with Things like temperature, size, weight, and colour are called variables. Variables are things you can measure(测量).

In your investigation, you have to decide what the variables are, which ones you will keep fixed, and which you will change.
