Hypothesis ✔Correct Answer--a possible explanation for an observation
A hypothesis.. ✔Correct Answer---must be tested to determine its validity
-is often tested in many different ways
-allows for predictions to be made
Experiment ✔Correct Answer--tests the hypothesis
An experiment... ✔Correct Answer---must be carefully designed to test only one variable at a time
-involves an independent and a dependent variable
-consists of a test experiment and a control experiment
If the hypothesis is valid... ✔Correct Answer--you should be able to predict the results of the
experiment
