Ask questions | A. Bread, when kept in the open for a long time, shows the presence of mold.
Construct a hypothesis | C. Changes in temperature may affect the growth of mold on bread.
Analyze the results and make a conclusion | E. Increased temperature leads to the growth of mold.
Test the hypothesis | D. Keep the bread in different locations, changing the temperature at each location.
Make observations | B. What causes mold growth on bread?
Communicate the results | F. Make a presentation of the data, and explain it to the class.
1. Construct a hypothesis | C. Changes in temperature may affect the growth of mold on bread. | Based on the observation, a tentative explanation is proposed to explain the phenomenon.
2. Communicate the results | F. Make a presentation of the data, and explain it to the class. | The findings of the investigation are shared with others to inform and contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon.
3. Test the hypothesis | D. Keep the bread in different locations, changing the temperature at each location. | The hypothesis is tested by conducting an experiment that manipulates the variable of interest (temperature) and observes its effect on the outcome (mold growth).
4. Make observations | B. What causes mold growth on bread? | This is the initial step where the investigator carefully observes the phenomenon to gather information and identify patterns.
5. Analyze the results and make a conclusion | E. Increased temperature leads to the growth of mold. | The data collected from the experiment is analyzed to determine whether it supports or contradicts the hypothesis, leading to a conclusion about the relationship between temperature and mold growth.
