Maria wants to enter the science fair at her school. She has a list of ideas for her project. Which questions could be answered through scientific investigation? Check all that apply.Which marine biologist is the smartest?Does the rate of decay have an effect on the amount of gas produced?Is the information about photosynthesis difficult to understand?Which laboratory experiment is the most fun to perform?Which brand of stain remover is the best for getting out laundry stains?

Scientific investigations can test questions by collecting measurable evidence. The rate of decay and the amount of gas produced can both be measured to see whether they are related, so B is investigable. Different stain removers can be tested on comparable laundry stains and their cleaning results measured, so E is also investigable. “Smartest,” “difficult,” and “most fun” depend on personal judgment rather than a clear scientific measurement.
