Question

Dimitri is studying the evaporation of water. He spent a week measuring six cups of water three times a day to see how much water evaporated. He is preparing to create a graph of the measurements he recorded. What step of the scientific method is Dimitri working on?

a)creating a hypothesis
b)conducting an experiment
c)analyzing the data
d)drawing a conclusion

Answer 1

he is working on analyzing the data

Answer 2

Answer:   C) Analyzing the data

Explanation:   The hypothesis is an assumption or proposed explanation that has yet to be proven as an exact or starting point for further research. Since Dimitri does not proceed from the assumption, he has already carried out the experiment and recorded all changes in the evaporation of water, we can conclude that there is no hypothesis in question. As he has already carried out all the measurements and is preparing to create a chart of measurements he has recorded, we can conclude that the chart will analyze the recorded data, so the step of the scientific method in which Dimitri is working on, is analyzing the data. Only after completing this step of the scientific method he will make a conclusion.
