In a laboratory, Carlos places one plate with grape jelly and another plate with cooked brown rice inside an ant farm. The next day, he finds that both plates are filled with ants. Carlos wonders if there are certain household foods that are more effective than others at attracting ants. How could Carlos use the scientific inquiry process to determine which foods are most effective at attracting ants? Check all that apply.

by making quantitative observations about the number of ants found on each plate of food
by asking a classmate if ants are attracted to bananas
by comparing a plate of cooked brown rice to another household food such as peanut butter
by designing an experiment to test different foods and the number of ants each food attracts
by repeating the experiment at different times of day
