question 10 of 10
a science student makes the following statement:
i think the color of light affects the rate of plant growth.
which part of the scientific process is this?
a. conducting an experiment
b. forming a hypothesis
c. drawing a conclusion
d. developing a theory

Explanation:

A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction about the relationship between variables. Here, the student is predicting that the color of light (independent variable) affects the rate of plant growth (dependent variable). Conducting an experiment would involve actually performing tests. Drawing a conclusion comes after analyzing data from an experiment. Developing a theory is a more comprehensive and well - tested explanation that comes after multiple hypotheses and experiments.

Answer:

B. Forming a hypothesis
