Answer 1

Based on the provided experimental scenario with Coach Saks regarding the comparison of paint types, here is the matching of each component of the scientific method:

1. State a problem/Ask a question: Will the new type of paint last longer than the usual paint?
2. Formulate a hypothesis: Coach Saks thinks the new kind of paint will last longer than the usual paint.
3. Gather/Research information: Coach Saks goes to the hardware store to read labels in order to compare the paints.
4. Conduct an experiment: Coach paints one field with the usual paint and a field right next to it with the new type of paint.
5. Independent Variable: The type of paint used (new paint vs. usual paint).
6. Dependent variable: The longevity or durability of the paint on the fields.
7. Record and analyze data: Coach checks the paint every week during the football season and records his observations.
8. State a conclusion: Coach decides the new paint lasts longer than the usual paint.

This arrangement aligns the steps of the scientific method with the actions taken by Coach Saks in his investigation.
