Document Summary

Scientific method: observations, questions, predictions/hypothesis, experiments/new observations (if results are not consistent, reject or revise hypothesis, conclusion/alternative hypothesis a. If results are consistent over many experiments, hypothesis becomes a theory. State it as precisely as possible and list the predictions it makes. Experimental (manipulating the environment/only changing one thing at a time!!!) Hypothesis : a testable statement that explains something observed (not a. Experiment : allows researchers to test the effect of a factor on a particular. Prediction : a measurable or observable result that must be correct if a hypothesis.
