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.
The Classical Era set the scene. It brought us the major civilizations, religions, and trade routes. But, what happens when all of the major world powers collapse? This is the Post-Classical era. The major world powers come from places you might not expect. There are some powers that are similar to the ones before and the ones after (Byzantine, China). But, the major players in the Post-Classical era come from totally backwards places. One sprouts out of a cave in the Arabian desert. The other comes from the base of a mountain on the steppes in Central Asia. I call this era, Muslims & Mongols. That's not everything, but it just about sums up the basics. (Of course, Trade, Migrations, Religion, and Labor are important...) The Post Classical Era is the FIRST era that represents 20% of the test. From here on out, these eras are worth more than the first two.
Although this depends greatly on the project and student in question, the best option from the list would be "<span>D. how naturalization happens," since it is the narrowest and most manageable of the topics. </span>
