Question

which of the following is an example of a hypothesis? 1 point \plants grow better in sunlight than in shade.\ \plants need water.\ \graphs are useful.\ \science is fun.\ a factor in an experiment that a scientist changes on purpose is called the 1 point constant independent variable dependent variable tester which tool would you use to measure the volume of a liquid? * 1 point thermometer balance

Explanation:

1. A hypothesis is a testable prediction. "Plants grow better in sunlight than in shade" can be tested by comparing plant growth in sunlight and shade. The other statements are general statements not testable in a scientific - experiment sense.
2. In an experiment, the independent variable is what the scientist changes on purpose to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
3. A thermometer measures temperature and a balance measures mass. A graduated cylinder (not in the options) is used to measure liquid volume, but among the given options, there is no correct answer for measuring liquid volume.

Answer:

1. "Plants grow better in sunlight than in shade."
2. Independent Variable
3. None of the above (as neither thermometer nor balance measures liquid volume)
