___E__Ask a testable question Adding calcium and magnesium to the animal food did increase the animal’s growth. The hypothesis is supported. Procedure: ___F__Gather information/Research Locate 2 puppies from the same litter that are similar in size. Feed one animal food with minerals for 1 month. __C__Form a hypothesis Feed the animal food without minerals for 1 month. Calculate the average growth of each puppy. ___B___Conduct an experiment If small doses of calcium and magnesium are added to animal food, then the animal’s growth will increase ___D___Analyze the results because calcium and magnesium are important minerals for growing. ___A___Draw conclusions Does adding minerals to an animal’s food affect their growth? Notes: (WebMD) Calcium is essential for bone growth Magnesium is important for more than 300 chemical reactions in the body that keep it working properly (about ½ of magnesium in body is found in bones) Determine the best example of a hypothesis:
