Formulating a Hypothesis Aim: How do we formulate a hypothesis using independent and dependent variables? Warm Up: 1.What is the A student is interested in independent designing an experiment to variable? test the effect of the type of eraser on how well it takes 2.What is the away pencil marks. dependent variable? Mini-Lesson: What is a hypothesis? A hypothesis is an “educated guess” based on prior knowledge and observations. COPY THIS The hypothesis is MORE SPECIFIC THAN a testable Guided Practice Experiment: The Effect of the Type of Eraser on how well it takes away pencil marks. IV: Type of eraser DV: How well it erases the pencil marks What is the student’s Hypothesis? If _____________________________________, then ___________________________________________ because ________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________. Guided Practice Experiment: How does the color of fish food affect the amount my pet fish will eat? IV: Color of fish food DV: Amount of food my fish eats What is the student’s Hypothesis? If _____________________________________, then ___________________________________________ because _______________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________. Quick Check: (complete in your notebook) Independent Depende Testable Hypothesis: Variable nt Question: Variable: Studying with Student test Does having music on music scores while students study affect their test scores? Work Period : Complete the class activity worksheet on Formulating Hypothesis. For each question, use the given variables to write a hypothesis.
