Question

A student is walking along the beach and notices that the waves crash more violently in some areas.She wonders if the slope of shoreline has any correlation to the way the waves break.what should this student do next to correctly follow the scientific method? Explain why? A.desing an experiment to simulate how waves crash on the shore . B.conduct research about waves and shore lines . C.develop a hypothesis about waves and shorelines D.draw a conclusion about waves after conducting research.
