Hypothesis:
Write 2 sentences to a paragraph that includes (1) the hypothesis and (2) a justification of the experiment.
A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work.
Most of the time a hypothesis is written like this: "If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen." ...
Your hypothesis should be something that you can actually test, what's called a testable hypothesis.
