Question

Arya observes that the grass behind her house is dry. She believes the water content in the soil is about two-thirds lower than that of other yards in the area. She's also convinced that the grass is dry because of the slope of her yard. She investigates the problem by following the scientific method. Place the steps she takes in the correct order in the flowchart.

Answer 1

So, there's five steps to the scientific method:  Identifying the problem, forming a hypothesis, doing research and collecting background data, conducting the experiment, and finally coming to a conclusion.  Arya already completed step one and two, because she sees a problem (the dry soil), and then comes up with a hypothesis, which is the water content in the soil in her yard is 2/3 lower due to the slope of her yard.  Next, she's going to have to go and collect her data!  This may include taking soil samples from her own yard and her other neighbors yard, and then measuring the slope of their yards ect. Then, she's going to take this information and put it into the experiment stage, and then she will come to her final conclusion!

Answer 2

Answer:

The five steps that are always taken in scientific research are;

• Recognizing the problem
• establishing a hypothesis
• doing research and assembling data
• escorting the experiment
• and finally proceeding to a conclusion

Explanation:

Arya already performs the first two steps; as she first recognize the problem i.e. she observes the dry glass and she also formulate a hypothesis that "the water content in the soil is about two-thirds lower than that of other yards in the area"

Now she will collect the data and conduct the experiment on the soil and glass and then she will assemble the conclusion based on the results.
