Goal
Investigate the optimal amount of foliage for the red, short furred slinquettes' population.
My Hypothesis
If I change the foliage so it increases, then the final number of slinquettes with red, short fur will increase.
My Analysis
Now that you have collected and analyzed your data, you will write an argument that explains how your experiment answers your question. There are three parts: claim, evidence, and reasoning.

Claim
Write a sentence that states what you found out about the scientific question you just investigated. Provide enough detail so that a friend who did not do the experiment could learn from your description.
​
Evidence
Provide and describe scientific evidence from your data table that supports your written claim. Remember to provide enough detail so that a friend who did not do the experiment could learn from your description.
Reasoning
Explain why your evidence (what you wrote in Box 2) supports your claim (what you wrote in Box 1). Also, explain the scientific principles behind your reasoning. Remember to provide enough detail so that a friend who did not do the experiment could learn from your description.
