Identifying the elements of hypothesis-based science this experiment is an example of hypothesis-based science. what question did the researchers ask? what question did the researchers ask? can predation result in selection for color patterns in guppies? do female guppies prefer to mate with males with bright color patterns or drab colors? do male guppies in pools with pike-cichlid fish have brighter color patterns than females in the pool? do killifish prefer to prey on juvenile guppies or adult guppies?

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.

hello

answer: collecting information/data

reason: the student is going around and asking people questions to collect data

i hope this
