Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes developing a hypothesis. hint: to develop a hypothesis, you use logic and research to propose a possible explanation. a teapot and a steaming cup of tea one afternoon, stacy was making tea with her father. as stacy stirred her tea, the metal spoon quickly became too hot to hold. her dad suggested that she use a wooden spoon instead. stacy was curious if the type of material a spoon is made from affects how much it heats up when placed in hot water for a short amount of time. she remembered hearing that metal conducts heat well and reasoned that the metal spoon would heat up more than a plastic or wooden spoon. stacy filled a large bowl with hot water. she then placed a metal spoon, a plastic spoon, and a wooden spoon into the bowl of water at the same time. after one minute, she used a thermometer to measure the temperature of each spoons handle. stacy recorded the temperatures and found that the metal spoon had heated up the most, the plastic spoon was warm but comfortable to hold, and the wooden spoon remained close to room temperature. she concluded that the type of material does affect how much a spoon heats up over a period of time.

Explanation:

Stacy utiliza su conocimiento previo (que el metal conduce bien el calor) y razonamiento lógico para proponer una posible explicación (que la cuchara de metal se calentará más que las de plástico o madera) lo cual es lo que se hace al desarrollar una hipótesis.

Answer:

She remembered hearing that metal conducts heat well and reasoned that the metal spoon would heat up more than a plastic or wooden spoon.
