Question 4 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

Which statement best describes comparative and descriptive investigations?

Answer
A
They both include a question, procedure and conclusion.
B
They both include a hypothesis.
C
They both require a specified control group.
D
They both use independent and dependent variables.

Explanation

Comparative investigations compare existing groups, while descriptive investigations observe and describe something. Both still have a question, a procedure for gathering information, and a conclusion based on the results. A hypothesis, control group, or independent and dependent variables may be used in some investigations, but they are not required in both types.
