John uses mechanical "predators" to approach frogs at a pond shore, and he records the distance between predator and frog as the frogs jump. (PEER REVIEW)
On a walk around pond John sees that small frogs on the shore only allow him to get within 5 feet before jumping into the water. (DATA COLLECTION)
John runs some statics on his distances to see if he can find any significance in his study. (OBSERVATION)
John writes up and sends out his experimental results for other scientisits to critique. (ANALYSIS)
John thinks that frogs vary the proximity to which they allow predators to approach based on the size of the predator. (HYPOTHESIS)

Can anyone tell me if I did this right?
I had to match the word from word bank that best matches.
[word bank: HYPOTHESIS, OBSERVATION, DATA COLLECTION, PEER REVIEW)
if there are any incorrect answers, please correct me so that I could study more with right answers. thank you!
Are you just guessing?
1. What peers are mentioned? Not frogs. Data
2. Observation
3. "statics" or statistics? Although "Analysis" is not listed in your word bank, it applies here.
4. What are other scientists considered to be?
5. This is the only one you got right.
Based on the context you provided, it seems that you have matched the terms correctly. Here is a breakdown of your answers:
1. PEER REVIEW: This term matches the action of John writing up and sending out his experimental results for other scientists to critique. Peer review is an important step in the scientific process to ensure the validity and reliability of the research.
2. DATA COLLECTION: This term matches the action of John recording the distance between the predator and the frog as the frogs jump. Collecting data is a crucial step in any scientific study to gather information and observations.
3. OBSERVATION: This term matches the action of John running some statistics on his distances to see if he can find any significance in his study. Observations involve analyzing and interpreting the data collected to draw conclusions or identify patterns.
4. HYPOTHESIS: This term matches John's belief that frogs vary the proximity to which they allow predators to approach based on the size of the predator. A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction that can be tested through experiments or observations.
Overall, your answers appear to be correct based on the information provided.
