Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes analyzing the data. rubber bands harry was playing with a rubber band and wondered how the stretchiness of flexible materials might vary. harry thought that rubber bands would stretch more than other common flexible materials, like plastic wrap or silicone, because they feel more elastic and springy. harry collected a few items: a rubber band, a piece of plastic wrap, and a silicone baking mat. he cut the rubber band to make a strip and then cut similarly sized pieces from the other items. he then gently pulled on the two ends of the rubber band until it reached its limit, and his sister measured its length. harry and his sister repeated this with the other two materials. they noticed that the rubber band stretched a lot, the plastic wrap stretched less, and the silicone mat stretched very little. harry determined that rubber is more elastic than plastic wrap and silicone, which allows it to stretch the most.

Explanation:

The part where Harry observes the stretching amounts of different materials (rubber band stretched a lot, plastic wrap less, silicone mat very little) and then determines that rubber is more elastic is data - analysis. He is interpreting the results of his stretching experiment.

Answer:

They noticed that the rubber band stretched a lot, the plastic wrap stretched less, and the silicone mat stretched very little. Harry determined that rubber is more elastic than plastic wrap and silicone, which allows it to stretch the most.
