Question

Formulating a Hypothesis Write a hypothesis about the effect of a strong odor on earthworm behavior. Use the "if... then.. because..." format, and be sure to answer the lesson question, "How is earthworm behavior affected by external stimuli?"​

Answer 1

If a strong odor is present near earthworms, then their behavior will be affected because they rely heavily on their sense of smell to navigate their environment and detect food sources. Therefore, the hypothesis is: Strong odors will alter the behavior of earthworms due to their reliance on their sense of smell.
