In science class, maria observes that a white-colored flower has shades of red when it’s watered with red-colored water. she forms a hypothesis that the color reaches the flower through the stem. what should maria do to confirm the hypothesis? she should repeat the experiment with the same type of flower and photograph the changes over time. she should ask her science teacher about the flower to confirm whether her hypothesis is correct. she should try the experiment with a potted plant with roots and observe any color changes. she should repeat the experiment with a different species of plant and photograph the changes.

Juan and carol were studying invertebrates in biology. they knew that segmented or earth worms preferred a dark, moist habitat. during this lab, they would be investigating the responses of organisms called planaria or dugesia tigrina. these were simple flatworms that still had a one-way digestive system and a very simple nervous system. juan and carol placed the planaria in a petri dish containing cool, distilled water that was partially covered with black paper. they shined a light on the dish. next, they removed the paper and placed a small amount of chicken liver at one end of the dish. they added a few large salt crystals to the water. finally, they added drops of hot water to the cool water in the petri dish. their results can be seen in the data table. according to their experiment, all but one conclusion is valid.
