the ability to follow directions the ability to write a valid report the ability to follow safety guidelines the ability to come up with a conclusion
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Ira had to make up a lab investigation after school. He obtained the materials, chemicals, equipment, and protective gear from his teacher. Quickly, but cautiously, he conducted the steps in the written experiment procedure. To save time, he decided to record his observations and results later. Which will most likely be negatively affected by his decision?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- the ability to follow directions
- the ability to write a valid report
- the ability to follow safety guidelines
- the ability to come up with a conclusion

Could you tell me which one is correct?
