I don't see controlled experiment used.

 

Yes, the skepticism one is a sentence.

 

Scientific literacy is important when it comes to reading peer-reviewed journals that have complex, technical terms.

My hypothesis is that seeds germinate better in colder temperatures, but I will have to test that out.

 

Skepticism is apparent when discussing whether climate change is caused by humans or not.

 

My prediction for the experiment is that 20 out of the 100 seeds will germinate.

 

My data show that only 1 seed germinated, thus disproving my prediction.

 

The scientific method was applied to my seed experiment since I posed a question, constructed a hypothesis, tested that hypothesis, collected data, and disproved my hypothesis.

 

After I anazlyed the results, I found out that temperature does play a key role in seed germination.

 

Note sure what #8 means...
