Question

drag each label to the correct location.
sienna decides to study movement in plants. identify the correct sequence of the scientific steps, and place the steps in order.
she developed a hypothesis that plants move toward light.
over six weeks, both plants grew toward their available light source.
she put one plant near the window and another in a dark room with a small opening that let light come through.
every few days she checked the plants and recorded the direction of their growth.
she observed that a plant kept near the window grew through a slit in the blinds.
she concluded that plants move in the direction of light.

Explanation:

The scientific method follows the sequence: initial observation, forming a hypothesis, designing/conducting an experiment, collecting data, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions.

1. Start with the initial observation of plant growth toward light.
2. Develop a testable hypothesis based on the observation.
3. Set up an experiment to test the hypothesis with controlled conditions.
4. Collect data by observing and recording plant growth over time.
5. Analyze the collected data from the experiment.
6. Draw a final conclusion based on the results.

Answer:

1. She observed that a plant kept near the window grew through a slit in the blinds.
