Which step of the scientific method would this scenario be:

You happen to notice that your cat is gaining weight since switching to the new cat food

• Propose a hypothesis

• Ask a question

• Observation

• Iterate

Which step of the scientific method would this scene be:

Why is my cat suddenly gaining weight?

• Test your hypothesis

• Make predictions

• Propose a hypothesis

• Ask a question

Which step of the scientific method would this scene be?

I've noticed that my cat is gaining weight since switching to the new food, so maybe the new food isn't as healthy for her.

• Propose a hypothesis

• Make a prediction

• Test your hypothesis

• Ask a question

Which step of the scientific method would this scene be?

If I switch to a higher quality cat food, my cat will start losing weight.

• Test your hypothesis

• Make a prediction

• Iterate

• Propose a hypothesis

Which step of the scientific method would this scene be?

You switch cat food to a healthier rated cat food. Over one month, you weight your kitty each week to see how much she weighs. Each week, she loses  $\frac{1}{4}$  of a pound.

• Make an observation

• Iterate

• Make a prediction

• Test your predictions

Which step of the scientific method would this scene be?

After weighing your kitty for a month, you see she's lost one pound on the new cat food. You decide to continue using the new food, as well as adding 20 minutes of play time each day to help her continue losing weight.
