Experiment with fish tank and algae
Design an experiment with the scenario described below. The scenario gives you the observation. Please label your question, hypothesis, predication, and how you would design your experiment. You have access to any materials that you need for your experiment. Include a label for the standardized controls, independent variable, and dependent variable.
You observe that your five-gallon fish tank that sits on your windowsill grows algae very quickly.
Many people like to eat spicy foods, but most other mammals don’t. Historically, the general trend was that the hotter the climate, the spicier the foods a society traditionally favored. Using these facts as a starting point, what might be the selective advantage for plants that can manufacture spicy chemicals? Why might it be useful for humans to tolerate, and even enjoy, spicy food?
