Maggie is a member of her school’s environmental club and is interested in recycling. She asks the question, “How does exposure to the environment affect recyclable plastics?”
What best describes why and how Maggie should change her question to make it a better scientific question?
Maggie's question, “How does exposure to the environment affect recyclable plastics?” implies that recyclable plastics are an important resource being affected by environmental exposure. Since recyclable plastics were developed with environmental affects in mind, a better scientific question would swap "the environment" with "recyclable plastics" to ask "How do recyclable plastics affect the environment?"
