Apply the scientific process to a scenario of your own (real or imagined). Develop a hypothesis to explain something you have observed, and design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Try to relate the steps in your process to the generalized steps of the scientific method presented in the chapter.
Explanation
Here is an example of a scientific method process.
Problem: The plant I have is not growing.
Gathering data: The soil is damp, they are not exposed to the sun and they are watered every day.
Hypothesis: If I place the plant in the sun, it should grow.
Testing hypothesis: I have two identical plants and one will be placed in the shade and the other in the sun.
Analyzing data: The sun plant is growing and the other one is not.
Conclusion: Sun makes a plant grow.
