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.
