Question

Students in a high school Marine Science class are learning about the scientific process. Four students were asked to write a testable prediction about the movement of ocean currents. Their responses are shown in the chart. Student Response Lisa The movement of ocean currents is mostly driven by temperature. Chris The movement of ocean currents was slower during prehistoric times. Mohammed The movement of ocean currents is an important part of marine science. Aaliyah The movement of ocean currents stops during the winter. Which student's prediction is the most testable using the scientific process?

Answer 1

I’m not sure but I think Lisa is right

Answer 2

The correct prediction is given by Lisa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa stated that the movement of ocean currents is majorly mediated by temperature. The given statement would be the easiest to examine scientifically and this can be achieved by determining the temperature of the ocean currents at various locations along their path, for example, like in the Gulf Stream.
