Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes testing the hypothesis. hint: to test the hypothesis, you use experiments or observations to collect data. a woman measuring a tires pressure one summer day, christy was outside helping her dad spray paint some handles for their kitchen cabinets. when they finished, her dad asked her to take the spray paint inside, because leaving it in the hot sun could cause the canisters to explode. he explained that raising a gass temperature also raises its pressure. christy wondered how she could test this relationship. not wanting to cause any explosions, she decided to test it with her dads car tires. she predicted that the tire pressure would increase after he drove, since the tires would warm up on the road. she measured the pressure of each tire on her dads car before he drove it to work. when he came home, she measured the pressure again. she was excited to see that each tires pressure had increased! she concluded that she was correct in predicting that driving raises the pressure in car tires.

Explanation:

Testing a hypothesis involves collecting data through experiments or observations. Christy measured the tire - pressure before her dad drove (initial data) and then again after he came home (post - experiment data) to see if the pressure increased as she hypothesized.

Answer:

She measured the pressure of each tire on her dad's car before he drove it to work. When he came home, she measured the pressure again.
