Answer:
Explanation:
First, let's identify the tools needed.
Since the biology class is studying the temperature, they will likely need a <u>thermometer</u>. Also, they are gathering information about the growth of the plants. This could use a <u>balance </u>of a meterstick.
Next, recall the difference between quantitative and qualitative data.
- <u>Quantitative</u>: Measurable and numerical results found using scientific instruments/devices
- <u>Qualitative</u>: Data found using the senses, such as descriptions and diagrams.
Since the class is measuring temperature and growth using tools, it must be quantitative data.
We can eliminate choices A and B, because they claim the class will gather qualitative data. Then, we can eliminate choice D, because a beaker and timer won't help with temperature and growth. That leaves choice C as the correct answer.
