What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 1? As dissolved oxygen is increasing the number of fish are being observed more. When dissolved oxygen is at 12‚ the number of fish observed peaked at 15 and then falls. 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen

sufferer’s problems continue unabated. We will pretend that you have the general set of symptoms described above. Ahh‚ but which of the two syndromes are causing your symptoms: the disorder (ADD) or the trait (ADT)? We’ll approach your problem using scientific methodology—developing a question‚ a hypothesis‚ an experiment‚ and a control for the experiment. Let’s share this assignment.

Scientific Investigation: Designing an Experiment Jeremy Barrett BIO-101-C02 February 4‚ 2015 Introduction Different parts of the body of an organism have been observed to grow at different rates during development. When parts of the body grow disproportionately to one-another‚ we call it allometric growth. The term‚ isometric growth‚ is used when describing body parts which maintain the same ratio throughout development. The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether two chosen body parts

The independent variables would be the dissolved oxygen and the dependent variables would be the number of fish observed. 5. What would be your control? No control is used in this experiment. 6. What type of graph would be appropriate for this data set? Why? Bar graph‚ because there is no relationship between each area observed. 7. Graph the data from Table 1: Water Quality vs. Fish Population (found at the beginning
