How is the milkweed bug changing?
ClassifyingSort or group observations.
How can these milkweed bugs be grouped?
Controlled Experimenting Conduct a “fair test” that relates effect of manipulated variable on responding variables when other variables are controlled.
What happens if we decrease the temperature of the habitat for the milkweed bug?
