Question

In science class, Maria observes a white-colored cut flower. She sees that the petals turn red when the flower is sitting in a vase that has red-colored water. She forms a hypothesis that the color reaches the flower through the stem. What should Maria do to confirm the hypothesis?

Answer 1

C.  

She should try the experiment with a potted plant with roots and observe any color changes

Answer 2

A hypothesis refers to a suggested illustration for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, there is a need to test it. Upon analysis, a hypothesis can be modified or rejected, but it can never be proved 100 percent accurate.  

A hypothesis needs more work by the individual testing it in order to either disprove or confirm it. A working hypothesis refers to a hypothesis, which is tentatively accepted as a foundation for a further research.
