Tishaura decides to do an experiment to determine which type of sock

absorbs the most sweat. Which of these describes her doing step two of the

inquiry process?

A. Tishaura asks herself which of the three types of socks in her

drawer seems to be the most absorbent.

B. Tishaura finds that all-cotton socks weigh 0.1 ounce more after

she runs in them.

C. Tishaura measures the weights of four different kinds of socks

before and after she goes running.

D. Tishaura predicts that all-cotton socks will absorb the most sweat,

because she thinks cotton is very absorbent.

D. Tishaura predicts that all-cotton socks will absorb the most sweat, because she thinks cotton is very absorbent.

Explanation:

The steps for scientific inquiry should be:

1. Observation

In this phase, you observe things that pique your interest and formulate a scientific question. This should be option A where Tishaura wonders which sock most absorbent.

2. Hypothesis.

The second step is making a hypothesis, educated guess about what the research result will be. This should be the option D, Tishaura expects that cotton sock absorbs more than others.

3. Experiment

In the third step, you test the hypothesis by designing and doing an experiment. It will be option C.

4. Analysis of experimental results

Gathering the result and doing analysis to find out if the hypothesis true. Tishaura found that all-cotton sock weight more. This process will be option B

5. Make a conclusion;

Determine whether you accept the hypothesis or not. There is no option that describes this process.

Step two of the inquiry process should be option D
