Tom stops using a new skin cream for five days to determine if the cream is the cause of a recent rash. What stage of the scientific method is Tom using?

Plz help me!! i think it is experimenting.

Experimenting
Hypothesizing
Predicting
Evaluating

Respuesta :

You're right. If he was hypothesizing, he would simply be thinking about what might happen. If he was predicting, he would be thinking about what he thinks will be the endpoint. If he is evaluating, he is looking back on the experiment. He is performing an experiment.
tom is using the experimenting stage of the scientific method. this is because he is taking a hypothesis (if the skin cream is causing the rash) and trying to find out if it does, by experimenting. either by proving it or excluding the cream as a cause. 

-hope this helps
