You and your class are planning an investigation. You have three different kinds of nutrients (nutrients x, y, and z). Your question is which nutrient grows taller plants. You decide to use hydroponic plants for this investigation. You question whether or not you should use the same seeds with the nutrients or different seeds with the nutrients.
a) the same seeds, because in any investigation it is important to change only the variable you are testing
b) different seeds, because when you use different seeds in an investigation, you will get different flowers
c) the same seeds, because only a few seeds grow hydroponically
d) different seeds, because in an investigation you learn more when you change several variables
What is
a) the same seeds, because in any investigation it is important to change only the variable you are testing?
