Question

directions: drag each tile to the correct box. abbey wants to determine how long it takes for a tadpole to develop into a frog. in what order should she perform the steps below? predict how long it will take for a tadpole to develop into a frog. observe the frog eggs every day. write a report on her findings. obtain frog eggs. record changes that take place as the eggs hatch and tadpoles develop.

Explanation:

To determine the order of steps for Abbey's experiment on tadpole development, we follow the scientific method:

Step 1: Formulate a Prediction

First, Abbey should predict how long it will take for a tadpole to develop into a frog. This sets the hypothesis or expectation for the experiment.
Action: Predict how long it will take for a tadpole to develop into a frog.

Step 2: Gather Materials/Specimens

Next, she needs to obtain frog eggs to begin the observation process. Without the eggs, she cannot conduct the experiment.
Action: Obtain frog eggs.

Step 3: Conduct Observations

After obtaining the eggs, Abbey should observe the frog eggs every day to track their development over time. This is the core data - collection phase.
Action: Observe the frog eggs every day.

Step 4: Record Data

As she observes, she must record the changes that occur as the eggs hatch and tadpoles develop. This documents the experimental results.
Action: Record changes that take place as the eggs hatch and tadpoles develop.

Step 5: Report Findings

Finally, after collecting and analyzing the data, Abbey should write a report on her findings to summarize the experiment and share the results.
Action: Write a report on her findings.

Answer:

1. Predict how long it will take for a tadpole to develop into a frog.
2. Obtain frog eggs.
3. Observe the frog eggs every day.
4. Record changes that take place as the eggs hatch and tadpoles develop.
5. Write a report on her findings.
