Chapter 1.2, Problem 1.10QAP
Identify each activity, a to f as an observation, a hypothesis, an experiment, or a conclusion.
Lucia wants to develop a process for dyeing shirts so that the color will not fade when the shirt is washed. She proceeds with the following activities:
a. Lucia notices that the dye in a design fades when the shirt is washed.
b. Lucia decides that the dye needs something to help it combine with the fabric.
c. She places a spot of dye on each of four shirts and then places each one separately in water, salt water, vinegars and baking soda and water.
d. After one hour, all the shirts are removed and washed with a detergent.
e. Lucia notices that the dye has faded on the shirts in water, salt water, and baking soda, whereas the dye did not fade on the shirt soaked in vinegar.
f. Lucia thinks that the vinegar binds with the dye so it does not fade when the shirt is washed.

Jack and Jill are curious about the factors that affect plant growth. They perform several experiments using pea plants
(a) The leaves of the pea plants that received too much water turned yellow.
(b) Jill decided that 5 hours of indirect sunlight gave optimum growth.
(c) Jack gave the pea plants a controlled amount of water each day.
(d) Jill thinks that too little sunlight will affect plant growth.
This part please
(a) Identify one variable (other than water and sunlight) that could be tested.
(b) Write a hypothesis using this variable.
(c) Design an experiment to test this variable.
Classify each of the following as an observation (O), a hypothesis (H), or an experiment (E): a. A big log in the fire does not burn well.b. If I chop the log into smaller wood pieces, it will burn better.c. The small wood pieces burn brighter and make a hotter fire.d. The small wood pieces are used up faster than burning the big log.
Part B - Use the scientific method
Read the case study and use your knowledge of the scientific method to identify the observation, hypothesis, experiment, and conclusion.
Our English springer spaniels like our neighbors’ children and could play with them all day. We thought our dogs will never dislike any children they will ever meet. Last month when we took our dogs on a trip, we met some German tourists in a park. The dogs loved playing with the foreign family’s children. Our English springer spaniels like all children.
