Select the statement that describes Ruby gathering enough evidence to support a scientific explanation concerning plant growth rates.

Question

Note: Consider reviewing how Ruby developed her conclusion on page 8 of this lesson to select the best answer.

Answer 1

Ruby can gather evidence by measuring and comparing the height of individual plants of each species over a specific period of time. She can then analyze the data and compare the growth rates of species A with species B, C, and D.
