Question

Read the quotation below from a high school science student.

We found that a new type of plastic grocery bag required half as much energy to recycle as the old type of plastic grocery bag.
What is the student doing?
A. Making a prediction
B. Making random discoveries
C. Forming a hypothesis
D. Making a conclusion

Answer 1

The answer is D. Making a conclusion

Answer 2

If this is a true or false question, the answer would be D., making a conclusion. "We found" implies that the student has already done their research. They have already made their random discoveries, prediction, and subsequent hypotheses. The statement that they found no difference between the two grocery bags is a conclusion. Hope this helps.
