Question

A student studies the gathering of frogs at the end of a pond, and has made the following notes in her lab book. Which of these is a CONCLUSION?

A)
The frogs are all of the same appearance.


B)
The frogs are attracted to the warmth of the sun.


C)
The shadier end of the pond has fewer frogs than the sunny end does.


D)
There are five times as many frogs at one end of the pond as at the other.

Answer 1

B The frogs are attracted to the warmth of the sun

Step-by-step explanation:

All the other answers are observations they tell you what they see but B is the right answer because it is the conclusion of why the other observations happen.

Answer 2

B) The frogs are attracted to the warmth of the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choices A, C, and D are all observations. Choice A tells the student the color/look of the frogs. Choice C tells the student that the darker end of the pond has less frogs than the lighter end and choice D supports choice C with numerals.

Choice B on the other hand, is a different observation. The difference is that with the others, you can notice the observations right off the back, but for the student to know that the frogs are drawn to the sun, the student must experiment or wait to record this. This end recording is also called a conclusion.

I hope this helped !
