Would each of these scenarios be addressed through engineering design or scientific inquiry? 4.

Answer:

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

A greenhouse overheating in the summer months has everything to do with engineering design and must be addressed as such. Since the commercial strawberry grower has already established the problem of overheating of the greenhouses, the solution to the problem lies with checking the engineering design of the greenhouses and not in making a scientific inquiry. The problem has been detected and a solution has to be provided by checking the fault in the design that could be causing the overheating.

Botanists trying to know why a newly discovered species of plant only grows in certain areas would need to carry out a scientific investigation/inquiry in order to get answers to their enquiry. Several questions might be raised as to why the growth of the plant is limited to those areas and these can only be answered by conducting scientific investigations.
