Jennifer was planning a science project. She wants to test to see if there is more lead found in the

soil in urban gardens than in rural gardens.

What would be a reasonable, testable hypothesis for her project?

• If soil samples are taken from gardens found in an urban area of more than 2,500 people and soil

  samples are taken from gardens found in rural areas of less than 2,500 people, then the lead

  residue content will more likely be found in urban garden soil.

• If soil samples are taken from both urban and rural gardens, then there will be lead residue in the

  soil in high amounts.

• If soil samples are taken from urban gardens, then lead samples might be found in the soil.

• If soil samples are taken from urban and rural gardens, then lead content can be tested in the

  soil samples.
