Science Practice with Graphs

Which factor is the variable in this experiment?

• the type of bee
• the time of day
• the type of plant
• the color of the flowers

Which of the following hypotheses could be tested by this experiment?

• Honeybees prefer to visit rose plants
• Honeybees prefer to visit red flowers.
• Honeybees prefer to visit flowers in the morning
• Honeybees prefer to visit Portland rose flowers between 9 and 10

Which of the following is the BEST reason why the Portland rose plant is included in all of the groups to be studied?

• The type of plant is a constant (controlled variable).

• The experiment will test whether bees prefer Portland rose over other roses.

• An experiment should have more than one variable.

• The Portland rose is a very common plant.
