One plant is placed in full sunlight, the second in a shaded area, and the third in an unlit closet.
When conducting the experiment, which of the following procedures should be followed?
Choose all that apply.
Three different types of plants should be used
The plants should be in the same size pots.
The same type and amount of soil should be used in each pot.

An experiment is being done to determine how light affects the growth of small zinnia plants. One plant is placed in full sunlight, the second in a shaded area, and the third in an unlit closet.
The hypothesis of this experiment could be:
Plants grow differently under different conditions
If Zinnia plants receive different amounts of sunlight then the plant in direct sunlight will grow taller than zinnia plants in little or no sunlight.
Many things, including sunlight, affect the growth of a plant.
If plants are treated differently then they will grow differently.
Question: How does wearing a seat belt affect the passenger motion when a car stops suddenly?
What would be the best hypothesis for this question

Question: How does the length of a string affect the pitch of the sound it produces when plucked?
