Hypothesis and Variables

Create a Hypothesis Does the wavelength of light (R.O.Y.G.B.I.V.) affect a plant’s growth? Is acid rain causing a decline of frog populations? Does the hormone estrogen increase the milk yield of dairy cows? Does the size of a fish tank determine how large a fish will grow? Does aspirin keep cut roses fresher longer? Will crickets chirp more if the temperature is warmer? Do tanning beds cause skin cancer?

Identify the Independent and dependent variable Does the wavelength of light (R.O.Y.G.B.I.V.) affect a plant’s growth? Is acid rain causing a decline of frog populations? Does the hormone estrogen increase the milk yield of dairy cows? Does the size of a fish tank determine how large a fish will grow? Does aspirin keep cut roses fresher longer? Will crickets chirp more if the temperature is warmer? Do tanning beds cause skin cancer?
