Chapter 1, Problem 1SLA

Make a scientific observation about the world around you and construct a question to address the observation. State a hypothesis too.

First step of investigation Final step of investigation Answer Bank Share the results and conclusions of the experiment. Choose the data that are most likely to support the hypothesis and ignore the rest of the data. Conduct the experiment and collect the resulting data.

Form a hypothesis that can answer the question about the natural phenomenon. Design an experiment that tests the hypothesis.
