Science 7- Sci. Method Notes, No Homework

Today, we revisited and revised our notes on The Scientific Method. There were just a few more details to add to our understanding of the process.
At the end of class, everyone was shown before and after pictures of The Blob to see, firsthand, the results of the experiment with water. When allowed to sit dry for several days, The Blob shriveled up as it dried, eventually looking more like a dark green crust. After adding water to its petri dish late yesterday afternoon, The Blob returned to its original state. As it took in water, the crust became rubbery and expanded in size.

Based on the data collected from this experiment, would you conclude that The Blob is alive or not?
