Thursday, Jan. 8 - The Scientific Method - Creating a Hypothesis

Objective: By the end of this lesson, you will know how to create a hypothesis.

A hypothesis is essentially a statement of what you think will happen. This must be written as a statement that can be tested. A classic example is that unicorn horns are made of gold. Unless you can find a unicorn, catch it and test its horn, this is not a hypothesis.

1. Ask a question.
2. Gather preliminary research.
3. Formulate an answer.
4. Write a hypothesis.
5. Refine your hypothesis.
