Question: Can a penny dropped from a building kill a pedestrian below? Hypothesis:

Controls:

Independent variable:

Dependent variable:

Conclusion:

Hypothesis: IF a penny is dropped from a building, THEN it would kill a pedestrian below

Controls: Same building, Same distance

Independent variable: Penny

Dependent variable: Pedestrian's death

Conclusion: The hypothesis is rejected

Explanation:

- The hypothesis is a testable explanation to an observed problem or asked question. Based on the cientific question in this question, a possible hypothesis will be: IF a penny is dropped from a building, THEN it would kill a pedestrian below

- Independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated in an experiment. In this case, the PENNY is the independent variable

- Dependent variable is the variable that responds to the change made to the independent variable. It is the measured variable. In this case, the dependent variable is the DEATH OF PEDESTRIANS.

- Controls are those variables that is kept constant or unchanged throughout the experiment. The controls in this experiment are: Same building, Same distance of throw etc.

- The conclusion is whether the hypothesis is accepted or not depending on the result of the experiment conducted. In this case, the hypothesis will be rejected if the penny doesn't kill a pedestrian

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
