Question

Meg goes swimming on a hot afternoon. When she comes out of the pool, her foot senses that the pavement is unbearably hot. Suppose Meg wants to apply the scientific method to discover reasons for the hot pavement. What is the next step she should take? A.

Answer 1

Answer: Meg should ask why the pavement is hot

Step-by-step explanation:

Meg has already completed the first step in the scientific method which is to make an observation. The next step is therefore to ask question about what has been observed. In her case she should ask, Why is the pavement unbearably hot?

From here then she can formulate a Hypothesis as to why it is hot then she can make a prediction that is based on the hypothesis and then test the hypothesis.
