Question

part 3: making data tables
for the following two investigations, make a data table for the data given. when making a data table, put the independent variable in the left column and the dependent variable in the right column. dont forget to give each column a title!

investigation #1
a seed was planted. as the plant grew, its stem was measured every day (per day).
day one: 0 centimeters, day two: 1 centimeter, day three: 3 centimeters, day four: 5 centimeters, day five: 8 centimeters, day six: 11 centimeters

Explanation:

Investigation 1 (Plant Growth)

Step1: Identify Variables

Independent variable: Day (time), Dependent variable: Plant height (cm)

Step2: Organize Data

List days (1 - 6) and corresponding heights.

Step3: Create Table

Day	Plant Height (cm)
2	1
3	3
4	5
5	8
6	11

Investigation 2 (Blueberry Growth)

Step1: Identify Variables

Independent variable: Temperature (°C), Dependent variable: Number of Blueberries

Step2: Organize Data

List temperatures and corresponding blueberry counts.

Step3: Create Table

Temperature (°C)	Number of Blueberries
8	12
18	35
12	23
24	44
20	41

Answer:
