Do you live in a world of hypotheses?
There are standard hypotheses that we’re taught at school, they might be scientific or religious. Do you lean to either side of that debate? What do you do with theoretical theories?
A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an event that can be tested and observed. It's an educated guess or prediction that's based on existing information.
How it works
Start with an educated guess
Form a hypothesis that states a relationship between two variables
Test the hypothesis through experimentation
Use the results to support or falsify the hypothesis
What it includes
Independent variable: The variable that causes something to change in the experiment
Dependent variable: The variable that is measured as the outcome of the experiment
Explanation: The hypothesized relationship between the variables
Examples
"If I water plants daily, they will grow faster"
"Adults can more accurately guess the temperature than children can"
"Butterflies prefer white flowers to orange ones"
Refining a hypothesis Conduct a literature review to identify gaps, Narrow down the topic, Ensure the hypothesis is specific and testable, and Articulate the hypothesis clearly.
