Which describes a scientist being creative?

1. joshua takes detailed notes about the experiment he is conducting.

2. elyse reads the references of a study before believing it.

3. sara tries turning a test tube upside down to collect a gas.

4. levi asks if redwoods would grow even taller if they had more phosphorus.

The correct answer is 3. Sara tries turning a test tube upside down to collect a gas.

Explanation:

Creativity is the ability to use imagination or ideas that are not conventional to create something new or solve a problem that emerges, this means a creative person looks for alternative ways to do things by making connections that are not conventional, analyzing information in alternative ways and find hidden or overlooked information. Considering Sara is trying to solve a problem or situation (collecting a gas) in an unusual way (turning a test tube upside down) she shows creativity applied to science, as she makes a connection between the use of test tube to collect other substances and apply it to gas substances to solve a problem which shows Sara considers information in alternative ways and establishes new connections to create new methods which is what creativity is about.
