    The document discusses the scientific method and components of a hypothesis and experiment. It explains that a hypothesis is an educated guess that can be tested, must be testable, answer the initial question, and generally follows an "if...then" format. It provides examples of hypotheses about the effects of fertilizer on plant growth, classroom temperature on test performance, and shoe type on jump height. It also defines key parts of an experiment, including the independent variable (what is deliberately changed), dependent variable (what is measured), and control (what is kept the same for comparison).

    Components of a Hypothesis
    * Hypothesis- An idea or theory that can be tested through experimentation or study.
    AKA an educated guess.

    Must be able to test


    Must answer your initial question
    Generally constructed in this format:
    If _____(I do this)____then____(this)____ will happen.

    Hypothesis Practice!
    Question/Problem- Does adding fertilizer effect the growth of a plant?
    Hypothesis-

    Question/Problem- How does the temperature of a classroom effect student test


    performance?
    Hypothesis-

    Question/Problem- How do the types of shoes I wear effect how high I can jump?
    Hypothesis-

    Components of an Experiment

    Independent Variable-

    Dependent Variable-

    Control-

    Practice
    A scientist wants to test how temperature effects the growth of E. coli, a bacteria. For his
    experiment, he places petri dishes of E. coli in a refrigerator, at room temperature, and in an
    incubator at 100F.

    What is the independent variable in this experiment?

    What is the dependent variable in this experiment?

    What is the control?
