Question

can you spot the scientific method worksheet
each sentence below describes a step of the scientific method. match each sentence with a step of the scientific method listed below.

  1. stephen predicted that seeds would start to grow faster if an electric current traveled through the soil in which they were planted.
  2. susan said, “if i fertilize my geranium plants, they will blossom.”
  3. jonathan’s data showed that household cockroaches moved away from raw cucumber slices.

a. recognize a problem
b. form a hypothesis
c. test the hypothesis with an experiment

Explanation:

Response

To solve the task of matching each sentence to the correct step of the scientific method, we analyze each sentence:

Sentence 1:

"Stephen predicted that seeds would start to grow faster if an electric current traveled through the soil in which they were planted."

  • A prediction about the relationship between variables (electric current and seed growth) is a hypothesis. So this matches B. Form a hypothesis.
Sentence 2:

"Susan said, 'If I fertilize my geranium plants, they will blossom.'"

  • This is a testable prediction (fertilizing → blossoming) about a cause - effect relationship, which is forming a hypothesis. So this matches B. Form a hypothesis? Wait, no—wait, actually, when someone states a testable prediction like this, it is a hypothesis. Wait, but let's re - check. Wait, the act of stating a prediction that can be tested is forming a hypothesis. So Susan's statement is a hypothesis. Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no—let's check the options again.

Wait, the options are:
A. Recognize a problem
B. Form a hypothesis
C. Test the hypothesis with an experiment

Wait, Stephen's prediction is a hypothesis (B). Susan's statement is also a hypothesis (B)? But that can't be. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, no—let's re - examine:

Wait, "Form a hypothesis" is a testable prediction. So both Stephen and Susan are forming hypotheses? But the worksheet probably has each sentence matching a different step. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no—let's check the third sentence:

Sentence 3:

"Jonathan’s data showed that household cockroaches moved away from raw cucumber slices."

  • Analyzing data to draw a conclusion is part of the process, but the options given are A, B, C. Wait, no—wait, the third sentence is about analyzing data from an experiment. But the options are A (recognize problem), B (form hypothesis), C (test hypothesis with experiment). Wait, maybe the third sentence is the result of testing a hypothesis, but the options don't have a "analyze data" or "draw conclusion" option. Wait, maybe the third sentence is related to testing? No. Wait, maybe I misread the sentences.

Wait, let's re - present the sentences and options:

Sentence 1:

Stephen predicted that seeds would start to grow faster if an electric current traveled through the soil in which they were planted.

  • This is a hypothesis (a testable prediction), so B. Form a hypothesis.
Sentence 2:

Susan said, "If I fertilize my geranium plants, they will blossom."

  • This is also a hypothesis (a testable prediction), so B. Form a hypothesis? But that seems odd. Wait, maybe the second sentence is actually a hypothesis, and the first too. But maybe the worksheet has a typo, or I misinterpret. Wait, no—let's check the third sentence:
Sentence 3:

Jonathan’s data showed that household cockroaches moved away from raw cucumber slices.

  • This is the result of an experiment (testing a hypothesis), so it would be related to testing, but the option C is "Test the hypothesis with an experiment". Wait, no—testing the hypothesis is doing the experiment, and the data is the result. But the options given are A, B, C. Maybe the third sentence is the result of testing, but since the options don't have a "conclusion" option, maybe it's a mistake. But according to the given options, let's proceed:
Final Matches:
  1. Stephen's prediction: B. Form a hypothesis
  2. Susan's statement: B. Form a hypothesis (assuming both are hypotheses)
  3. Jonathan’s data: Maybe there's a mistake, but if we have to choose from A, B, C, and since the data is from…

Answer:

s:

  1. B. Form a hypothesis
  2. B. Form a hypothesis
  3. C. Test the hypothesis with an experiment
