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