• Question

A possible explanation to a problem that has not yet been tested. 

• data
• theory

• yes
• no

Testing a hypothesis often involves a(n):

• answer
• experiment
• problem
• safety check

What is a hypothesis?

• A hypothesis is the right answer to an experiment.
• A hypothesis is the wrong answer to an experiment.
• A hypothesis is an educated guess.
• I don't know.
