Question

drag and drop the words or phrases that accurately complete the columns comparing investigations.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the types of scientific investigations (descriptive, comparative, experimental) and their characteristics:

Descriptive Investigation (Middle Column: "no hypothesis", "no variables", "counting/observing")

• Matches with: classification, descriptive, describing data (focuses on observing, classifying, and describing without hypothesis/variables).

Comparative Investigation (Left Column: "possible hypothesis", "possible variables")

• Matches with: comparative, comparing groups, replication (involves comparing groups, may have possible hypothesis/variables, and replication).

Experimental Investigation (Right Column: "hypothesis", "controlled")

• Matches with: experimental, variables, investigation (has a hypothesis, controlled variables, and is an experimental investigation).

Filling the Blanks:

• Left Column (Comparative): Drag comparative, comparing groups, replication (and "possible hypothesis", "possible variables" are already there).
• Middle Column (Descriptive): Drag classification, descriptive, describing data (and "no hypothesis", "no variables", "counting/observing" are already there).
• Right Column (Experimental): Drag experimental, variables, investigation (and "hypothesis", "controlled" are already there).

(Note: The exact drag-and-drop targets depend on the table structure, but the key is matching each investigation type to its traits. For example, "descriptive" goes with "no hypothesis/no variables/counting", "comparative" with "possible hypothesis/variables/comparing", "experimental" with "hypothesis/variables/controlled".)

If we assume the columns are:

• Left (Comparative): possible hypothesis, possible variables, [drag: comparative, comparing groups, replication]
• Middle (Descriptive): no hypothesis, no variables, counting/observing, [drag: classification, descriptive, describing data]
• Right (Experimental): hypothesis, [drag: variables], controlled, [drag: experimental, investigation]

Final matches (example for each column’s blank):

• Left blank: comparative (or comparing groups, replication)
• Middle blanks: classification, descriptive, describing data
• Right blanks: variables, experimental, investigation

(Adjust based on the exact table layout, but the logic is linking investigation type to its defining traits.)
