Lesson 14: ACT Science Mastery

Passage

A team of researchers built a greenhouse with three separate artificially lighted and heated sections. During one of their experiments, the researchers measured and recorded the weekly average light intensity (in arbitrary as the weekly average air temperature. The results for the five-weekly provided in Table 1 and Table 2
