Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. identify the part of the passage that describes revising the hypothesis. hint: to revise the hypothesis, you use the results of the investigation to come up with a new explanation. nora keeps a vegetable garden in her yard. she likes to germinate her seeds inside before transferring them outside to her garden, but she read that seeds exposed to light germinate more quickly. she wondered what kind of light would be the best to expose her seeds to indoors for the quickest germination. nora predicted that since red light promotes plant growth, it would also promote seed germination. she planted her seeds in three grow beds inside: one lit with a green light, one with a blue light, and one with a red light. she counted how many seeds in each bed germinated after one week. she found that the bed lit with blue light had the most germinated seeds. nora then predicted that since seeds are not mature plants, they require a different kind of light to germinate.

Explanation:

To find the part about revising the hypothesis, we look for using investigation results (seed germination counts) to form a new explanation. Nora's new prediction after seeing blue light worked best—"Nora then predicted that since seeds are not mature plants, they require a different kind of light to germinate" uses results to revise her initial hypothesis.

Answer:

Nora then predicted that since seeds are not mature plants, they require a different kind of light to germinate.
