A student plays tennis several times a week. She notices that the tennis ball seems to bounce higher on some courts than on other courts. She wonders if this has something to do with the surface of the
court. Design an experiment to see if her hypothesis is correct. Include these elements in your
response:
• State the hypothesis.
• Identify the factor to be varied.
• Identify two factors that should be held constant.

hypothesis Ball bounces higher on asphalt than concrete, factors to be varied asphalt court and concrete court, constant tennis ball and height dropped from.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
