Observation: First-year biology students at the University of Guyana noticed that during the rainy season, there are more scarlet ibises found feeding in flooded areas on campus in comparison to the dry season. 1. Identify dependent, independent, and control variables. There can be more than one controlled variable, but you should only have ONE dependent and ONE independent variable. You must also explain how literature has helped you to choose each of these variables (6 mks). : 2. Write a Null and Alternate hypothesis (4 mks). 3. Suggest a simple step-by-step method that can be used to test your hypothesis. The method must be written in future tense (5 mks). 4. Should have a full list of all references you used when choosing your variables. All references are written in APA 7th Ed style. Reference in text and List.
