Mary would start with a hypothesis such as, "I believe that plants with no soil will not grow because there are no nutrients coming from the soil for the plant to grow"

Then she would put the plan in place to start her experiment. She will get the same type of seeds, the same amount of water and sunlight. The only difference between the 3 plants is that one plant will have no soil, the second plant will have 1 inch of soil, the third plant will have the correct amount of soil.

She will run the experiment for 2 weeks to see whether the plants have grown and what the conclusion is. She will record how much the plants have grown every day, she will measure the height of each plant.

At the end of 2 weeks, she will gather all her data and come to a conclusion.

Answer:

Mary would use the steps in the scientific method to determine if the plants need soil to grow. She would carry out the steps in the following order:

Make observations: The plants in the garden grow when the soil is watered.

Ask questions: Mary wondered about the presence of soil and asked, Would plants grow even if they weren’t in soil?

Construct the hypothesis and make predictions: Mary hypothesized that plants need only water to grow, but not soil. So, she predicted that a plant put in water instead of soil would still grow.

Test the hypothesis: She put two identical plants in two different boxes: one box with soil and one box with water. Then she placed them in the same amount of sunlight. She added the same amount of water to both boxes each week. Finally, she measured the height of both plants at the start and end of the experiment.

Analyze the results and make a conclusion: At the end of two weeks, Mary measured both plants to determine if they grew. The plant with water grew less than the plant with soil. She concluded that plants need soil, water, and sunlight to grow. Soil contains essential nutrients. When the plant receives sunlight, the water carries these nutrients to various parts of the plant, allowing the plant to grow.

Explain how the Great Depression weakened Western democracies
stiks02 [169]

The Great Depression of 1929-33 was the most severe economic crisis of modern times. Millions of people lost their jobs, and many farmers and businesses were bankrupted. Industrialized nations and those supplying primary products (food and raw materials) were all affected in one way or another. In Germany the United States industrial output fell by about 50 per cent, and between 25 and 33 per cent of the industrial labour force was unemployed.

The Depression had profound political implications in western democracies. In countries such as Germany and Japan, reaction to the Depression brought about the rise to power of militarist governments who adopted the regressive foreign policies that led to the Second World War. In countries such as the United States and Britain, government intervention ultimately resulted in the creation of welfare systems and the managed economies of the period following the Second World War.

In the United States Roosevelt became President in 1933 and promised a "New Deal" under which the government would intervene to reduce unemployment by work-creation schemes such as street cleaning and the painting of post offices. Both agriculture and industry were supported by policies (which turned out to be mistaken) to restrict output and increase prices. The most durable legacy of the New Deal was the great public works projects such as the Hoover Dam and the introduction by the Tennessee Valley Authority of flood control, electric power, fertilizer, and even education to a depressed agricultural region in the south.

The New Deal was not, in the main, an early example of economic management, and it did not lead to rapid recovery. Income per capita was no higher in 1939 than in 1929, although the government’s welfare and public works policies did benefit many of the most needy people. The big growth in the US economy was, in fact, due to rearmament.
