42. This question has pictures and words concerning water and fertilizing plants. You have to match the words describing the hypothesis to the picture. They are 4 before and 4 after pictures of the results. (This is the best I can remember the question- sorry).
Hypothesis= “If I add water to the soil and fertilize the plant, then the plant should grow the best.”
