An experiment.
Your best “educated guess” of what the answer to your question will be.
Whatever the teacher tells you is the truth.
An untestable statement.
Communication of results
Hypothesis formation
Conclusion
Observation
To force a conclusion based on many data.
What you think will be the outcome of your experiment or data collection.
Another word for observation.
Just another word for a hypothesis.
Test
Hypothesis
Prediction
Hypotheses always come in pairs.
A prediction always needs more than a single hypothesis.
If you reject your sole hypothesis you have nothing left.
Observations trick you into trying only one hypothesis.
From the predictions.
By testing the data.
Assume that you know everything.
By making an interesting observation.
A question follows from an interesting observation and the hypothesis is an educated guess or answer to that questiony
A question is the summary of data collected and the hypothesis is the interpretation of the data
A question is what you end up with after the test and the hypothesis is a summary of the conclusions.
A question is an assumption and the hypothesis is the answer to the assumption.
A prediction is a possible answer to the question, and a test is what you take at the end of the semester in class.
A prediction is what the doctors gives you in her clinic, and a test is what the weatherman gives you each evening.
A prediction is usually a specific statement “if . . .then”, and the test is the actual experiment used to obtain data.
A prediction is what a fortune teller gets paid for, and a test is what you give to your friends to make sure they are still your friends.
You keep making different tests until they show what you want to see.
You look at your hypotheses and choose which one you like best.
You guess what the results should be.
You compare the data from your experimental results to the prediction they tested.
