Question

You notice that your lilies bloom before your asters in your flower garden. Which explanation for this phenomenon CANNOT be tested using the scientific method?
Choose one:
A. The asters grow in slightly different soil and do not grow or bloom as fast as the lilies.
B. Lilies bloom first because they are more beautiful than asters.
C. Lilies start growing earlier than asters, so they bloom earlier.
D. The lilies receive more sunlight, so they grow and bloom faster than asters.

Answer 1

B. Lilies bloom first because they are more beautiful than asters.

This explanation cannot be tested using the scientific method because beauty is subjective and cannot be objectively measured or tested. The scientific method relies on objective, measurable data and observations.
