Question

Fatima is watching her pet cat, Winter, napping in the sun. Fatima is curious about the heart rate of Winter when she is napping, so she develops this scientific question: Does a cat's heart rate change while it is napping? She decides to develop a hypothesis to test this scientific question. What could Fatima's hypothesis be?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be-"If a cat is naps, the heart beat rate of cat changes."

Explanation:

A scientific hypothesis is a predictive statement based on the works of an earlier investigation. The hypothesis is considered as a well-educated guess which explains the scientific question in a limit.

The scientific hypothesis is proposed in such a way that it could be tested easily through the experiments which can disprove or prove the hypothesis and explain the question.

In the given question, the predicted hypothesis will be- "If a cat naps, the heartbeat rate of cat changes." which can be measured through the instruments.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two hypotheses she could test:

A cat's heart rate changes while it is napping.

A cat's heart rate does not change while it is napping.
