Question

Andy made the graph shown to record the observations of an experiment to study the effect of sunlight on the growth of plants. Three identical plants having a height of 15 cm were used for the experiment. The first plant was kept away from sunlight, the second plant received 3 hours of sunlight, and the third plant received 5 hours of sunlight. All other growing conditions of the plants were kept constant. A bar graph titled Plant Growth is shown. The y axis, labeled Height in centimeters, goes from 0 to 8. The x axis, labeled Week, goes from 1 to 4. Each week has 3 bars, no sunlight, 3 hours sunlight, and 5 hour sunlight. For weeks 1 to 4, bars for no sunlight have a height of 0.5 centimeter, bars for 3 hours have heights of 1, 2.4, 3, and 4.5 centimeters, and bars for 5 hours have heights of 2.4, 4, 6, and 7 centimeters. Which step of the scientific method will most likely come next? Analyze the data Construct a hypothesis Test with an experiment Do background research

Answer 1

Analyze the data is next

Answer 2

The correct answer is - analyze the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific method is a method that involved step by step observing, experimenting, getting data through the experiment, analyzing the data and reach a conclusion and finally share the results or conclusion.

Given the experiment has an observation, hypothesis, followed by an experiment and got results. The next step would be analyzing the result.

Thus, the correct answer is - analyze the result.
