SSA PRACTICE QUESTION Mandy wanted to see if a new
environmentally-friendly pesticide will
prevent insect damage to tomato plants.
After making a hypothesis, she conducts
her experiment. She treats five tomato
plants with traditional pesticide and five
with the new pesticide. Mandy also
leaves five plants untreated as a control.
She makes careful notes of how she set
up her experiment and then records her
data about all of the plants. Why is it
important for Mandy to record her
procedures and data accurately?

The correct answer is - so that other scientists can replicate the experiment and make sure the results are correct or to check accuracy.

Explanation:

The data and procudres are required to be recorded or noted correctly so the experiment and research can be replicate and tested for the accuracy of the experiment by other scientist and researcher.

Mandy also need to note procedure, data, variables and other data correctly for the testing the accuracy and replication of the experiment. The replication is essential to check if every thing is correct and result are error free.
