• The red light
• The sunlight
• The plant height
• Time

• The sun light

• Time

Type of reasoning that starts with generalizations that are used to make predictions.

• inductive

• deductive

• confirmation

• null

The null hypothesis describes a set of criteria that could show that the hypothesis is:

• testable

• observable

• falsifiable

• reasoned

When graphing data, where should the independent variable be displayed?
