Question: Warm water contains less dissolved oxygen than colder water. Which population will be most affected by a long period of hot, dry days?
Answer: fish in ponds
Hypothesis: hot weather has a negative impact on the survival of fish
Supporting facts: sent1: as the temperature of an environment increases, the temperature of the water in that environment increases sent2: a fish is a kind of animal sent3: if a substance with a certain property contains more / less of something than a substance with a different property, then that property positively / negatively affects how much of that something that substance contains sent4: water is a kind of substance sent5: warm water contains less dissolved oxygen than cold water sent6: the decrease of something required by an organism has a negative impact on that organism 's survival sent7: some organisms live in water sent8: temperature is a property of substances and includes ordered values of cold / cool / warm / hot sent9: an animal requires oxygen for survival sent10: temperature is a property of weather sent11: hot means high in temperature sent12: a fish lives in water sent13: a fish is a kind of organism sent14: causing someting to increase / decrease is a positive / negative kind of effect
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] the decrease of something required by an organism has a negative impact on that organism 's survival [AND] some organisms live in water [INFER] int1: the decrease of something required by an organism in water has a negative impact on that organism's survival [BECAUSE] if a substance with a certain property contains more / less of something than a substance with a different property, then that property positively / negatively affects how much of that something that substance contains [AND] temperature is a property of substances and includes ordered values of cold / cool / warm / hot [INFER] int2: if a substance with a certain temperature contains more / less of something than a substance with a different temperature, then that temperature positively / negatively affects how much of that something that substance contains [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] water is a kind of substance [INFER] int3: if water with a certain temperature contains more / less of something than water with a different temperature, then that temperature positively / negatively affects how much of that something that water contains [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] warm water contains less dissolved oxygen than cold water [INFER] int4: temperature negatively affects how much dissolved oxygen water contains [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] causing someting to increase / decrease is a positive / negative kind of effect [INFER] int5: as the temperature of water increases, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water decreases [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] int5 [INFER] int6: the increase of water tempreature has a negative impact on the survival of organisms in the water that require oxygen [BECAUSE] a fish is a kind of animal [AND] an animal requires oxygen for survival [INFER] int7: a fish requires oxygen to survive [BECAUSE] int7 [AND] a fish lives in water [INFER] int8: a fish lives in water and requires oxygen to survive [BECAUSE] int8 [AND] a fish is a kind of organism [INFER] int9: a fish is a kind of organism that lives in water and requires oxygen to survive [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] int9 [INFER] int10: the increase of water tempreature has a negative impact on the survival of fish [BECAUSE] temperature is a property of weather [AND] hot means high in temperature [INFER] int11: hot weather means high temperatures [BECAUSE] int11 [AND] as the temperature of an environment increases, the temperature of the water in that environment increases [INFER] int12: hot weather causes the temperature of water in an environment to increase [BECAUSE] int10 [AND] int12 [INFER] int13: hot weather has a negative impact on the survival of fish
