Develop a Hypothesis

So, you asked a question and did some research. Now you have an idea of what the answer is. 
 
A hypothesis is a possible answer to a scientific question.

 

 

Often, hypothesis are phrased as, "If _______, then________."

 

Example:

 

Remember, John is trying to figure out:

 

 "Will the amount of sugar in the recipe affect the size of the loaf?"

 

Choose the correct hypothesis to answer this question:

 

  • If more sugar is added, then the bread will rise higher.

 or

  • Adding more sugar will make better bread.
