4. Presenting Hypothesis
Examine the possible solutions you listed in step 3. Try to think of experiments that might
prove the solutions to be incorrect. For example, if one of your possible explanations was that
your plant was knocked over by the wind, then you could perform the simple experiment of
leaving window closed for a day. Since this explanation could be disproven by an experiment, it
is a valid hypothesis.
Determine which of the solutions from step 3 could be disproven by an experiment. These are
your hypotheses. You should have at least three hypotheses. Be sure to write each of your
hypotheses in the correct “if…then…”format.
Hypothesis 1:
