Read the following story. You will use this story to practice using the scientific method. ~~Eddie gives his mother a bunch of roses for Mother’s Day. She fills a vase with water, trims the ends of the flower stems, and arranges the roses in the vase. Then she remembers that she heard from a friend that putting an aspirin in the water helps the flowers stay fresh longer. She goes to the medicine cabinet to look for aspirin. ~~Eddie’s sister Kela comes into the kitchen and sees the flowers. She said she heard putting a few drops of bleach in the water helps keep the flowers fresh. She thinks it is because the bleach kills the bacteria in the water. ~~Eddie thinks it seems strange that aspirin or bleach would be better than plain water. He asks his mother if they can do an experiment to find out whether the aspirin or bleach will make the flowers last longer. She thinks it is a good idea and finds some smaller vases to hold the flowers. ~~Now, answer the following questions about the process they used to reach their conclusion.
