HypothesisHypothesis

Step 2: Form a Hypothesis Hypothesis: an educated guess or prediction; an “if, then” statement If ____ independent variable ______ then__ dependent variable _______

Example: Independent Variable: I feed my cat a lot of food Dependent Variable she will get fat If ___________________________ then _________________________

Remember Try to use INCREASE and DECREASE in your hypothesis! Ex. IF I increase the amount of food I give my cat, THEN she will increase her weight

Now Try it on Your Own! ‘Writing a Good Hypothesis” Just ‘plug and chug’ in your variables!
