Question

(01.01 mc)a scientist who is researching marshes observes that marsh grass, spartina bakeri, grows to different heights at different locations in the marsh. if the scientist wants to find the reason for this difference, what is the correct first step?a conduct an experiment and change only one variable at a time.b determine which technology would assist most in answering the question.c form a research question based on knowledge of the marsh.d establish a control group for comparison.question 3 (4 points)(01.01 mc)if several highly educated scientists all study the same scientific data, which of the following is most likely to explain why they may all have different conclusions?a not all scientists study the data with similar effort.b scientists make slight variations in procedure to more broadly test.c conclusions involve the scientists interpretation.d scientists state conclusions based on their own research needs.

Explanation:

For the first question, the scientific method starts with forming a research question. For the second question, conclusions in science are based on interpretation of data, and different scientists can interpret the same data differently.

Answer:

First question: C. Form a research question based on knowledge of the marsh.
Second question: C. Conclusions involve the scientist's interpretation.
