6) The scientific method can be best described as:
A) Undertaking of experiments in laboratories.
B) Use of induction and deduction.
C) Collecting data in the field.

C) A hypothesis that regulates the results of an experiment.
D) An experiment that is undertaken both in the field and in the laboratory.

9) A marine biologist observes that mako sharks, sardines, and salmon leap out of the water. An
example of induction from these observations is:
A) Only some fishes can leap out of the water.
B) All fishes leap out of the water.
C) Fishes leap out of the water to escape from predators.

deduction?
A) Since tuna are fish, tuna lay eggs.
B) Since tuna are fish, tuna swim.
C) Egg laying is beneficial to fishes.
D) Tuna must lay their eggs in deep water.
