Q6. You decide to grow bean sprouts in your kitchen from seeds, near the window. You put 10 bean seeds in a pot with soil, set them on the windowsill, and wait for them to sprout. However, after several weeks, you have no sprouts. Why not? Well...it turns out you forgot to water the seeds. S, you hypothesize that they didn't sprout due to lack of water. Draw the design of a controlled- experiment to test this hypothesis using the framework provided. Show outcomes where your hypothesis is supported and outcomes where your hypothesis is r The process of science ejected. (5 pts) Observation: Question: Hypothesis: Prediction Hypothesis supported Test Control Test Control Hypothesis NOT supported Test ControlExplanation / Answer
Hypothesis: plants don’t grow as a result of lack of water.
Experiment:
- in the experiment, we would require two pots in which one would be test and the other would be control, that would contain germinating seeds.
- in the control pot, we would put adequate amount of water and expose it to sunlight, so that there would be ample amount of growth after 10 days.
- in the test pot, we would not put adequate amount of water in the pot.
As a result, there would not be appropriate amount of growth, and the hypothesis would be accepted.
Experiment: in the experiment, we would require two pots in which one would be test and the other would be control, that would contain Two month old plants.
- in the control group, we would put adequate amount of water and expose it to sunlight, so that there would be ample amount of growth after 10 days.
- in the test pot, we would not put adequate amount of water in the pot.
Result: there would not be a lot of difference in the height of the plants, proving that growth does not seize if plants are not watered. Hypothesis, would be rejected.
