Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes testing the hypothesis. hint: to test the hypothesis, you use experiments or observations to collect data. scott likes to make rock candy to share with his friends. he normally makes rock candy using white sugar but wondered if he could make larger sugar crystals using pure cane sugar. he predicted that pure cane sugar would make the largest crystals, since it was a more pure form of sugar. scott set up 12 glass jars with a stick and hot water. he added white sugar to 6 jars and pure cane sugar to the other 6. after one week, scott measured the size of the sugar crystals in each jar. he found that the rock candy made with white sugar had larger crystals than those made with pure cane sugar. he then predicted that smaller sugar granules would lead to larger sugar crystals.

Explanation:

Scott set up an experiment with 12 jars, adding white sugar to 6 and pure cane - sugar to the other 6, then measured crystal sizes after a week. This is the part where he tests his hypothesis.

Answer:

Scott set up 12 glass jars with a stick and hot water. He added white sugar to 6 jars and pure cane sugar to the other 6. After one week, Scott measured the size of the sugar crystals in each jar.
