Question

experimental design practice
possible points: 1
every 3 days the student plans to count the number of green
leaves that are growing on the plant. what is a possible hypothesis for this experiment?
○ the plant in the bright light will grow more green leaves than the plan grown in the dim light.
○ the plant in sunlight will grow more green leaves than the plant grown under the light bulb.
○ the plant in the clay pot will grow more green leaves that the plan grown in the plastic pot.
○ the plant in the warmer temperature will grow more green leaves than the plan grown in the colder temperature.

Explanation:

The experiment involves two plants under different light conditions (bright vs. dim, as implied by the setups). A valid hypothesis must link the independent variable (light intensity) to the dependent variable (number of green leaves). The first option correctly states this relationship.

Answer:

The plant in the bright light will grow more green leaves than the plant grown in the dim light.
