Some scientists are studying the frogs in a pond near a factory. The factory has been known to dump old chemicals in a gutter that sometimes leaks into the pond. The scientists suspect that the chemicals may be causing the frogs to die before they can lay eggs. They decide to compare the frogs in this pond to the frogs in a pond with clean water.

If you were one of these scientists, what might be your hypothesis?

Respuesta :

Due to the information given, I can conclude that the old chemicals being dropped into the gutter are killing the frogs!
This is because their is a major possibility gutter water or whatever is sucked into the gutter can leak into a pond. Any chemical uses would be the first thing to kill a frog just like any overdose of medicine or poison could be harmful to a human.

Here's the sample response:

If the first pond contains chemicals, then it will have fewer frogs because the chemicals will kill the frogs before they can lay eggs.

Here's my response that will get you a 100%:

If the first pond contains chemicals, less frogs will be present because the chemicals can destroy the frogs until they can lay eggs.
