Question: Turtle eggs Develop a testable question Predict the outcome Design an experiment

Does the temperature of an egg affect if the turtle is male or female?

Hypothesis: Turtle eggs develop into male turtles in cold temperature and into female turtles in warm temperature. Design an experiment to show if the hypothesis is correct 25 eggs are gathered, 4 batch 60 days 26C: 21 male, 2 female 28C: 13 male, 12 female 30C: 1 male, 19 female 32C: 1 male, 20 female
