Question

differentiate between field observations and controlled experiments by sorting the examples into the correct bucket. keyboard help field observations controlled laboratory experiment burying tubes with varying types of sand to test differences in faunal colonization related to particle size of sand at a beach tagging and tracking endangered sea turtles using satellite imagery to record sea surface temperatures setting up exclosures around patches of seagrass in seagrass meadows to observe herbivory behaviors monitoring a coral reef after a hurricane keeping mussels in tanks of the same types containing the same water and nutrients but at different temperatures counting and comparing gill slits in fish testing the use of antibiotics in specific lab conditions

Explanation:

Field observations are done in natural settings without much manipulation. Controlled laboratory experiments are in a lab - controlled environment. Controlled field experiments are in the field but with some variables controlled. Tagging and tracking endangered sea - turtles, using satellite imagery to record sea surface temperatures, monitoring a coral reef after a hurricane are field observations as they observe in natural settings. Burying tubes with varying types of sand at a beach is a controlled field experiment as it's in the field with manipulation. Setting up enclosures around patches of seagrass, keeping mussels in tanks with different conditions, counting and comparing gill slits are controlled laboratory experiments as they are in a more controlled environment.

Answer:

Field Observations: tagging and tracking endangered sea turtles, using satellite imagery to record sea surface temperatures, monitoring a coral reef after a hurricane
Controlled Laboratory Experiment: setting up enclosures around patches of seagrass in seagrass meadows to observe herbivory behaviors, keeping mussels in tanks of the same types containing the same water and nutrients but at different temperatures, counting and comparing gill slits in fish
Controlled Field Experiment: burying tubes with varying types of sand to test differences in faunal colonization related to particle size of sand at a beach
