When you get down to working on a science fair project you are encouraged to start using the scientific method. The first part of the scientific method is to form a hypothesis. So what exactly is a hypothesis? Is it just a guess that you make or is there more to it? Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n
A hypothesis is considered an educated guess. When you take a guess you have no clue about what you are facing, but when you make an educated guess you can be making a hypothesis. For instance if some one shows you a gift wrapped paper box and asks you what is inside you take a wild guess. If you know the person who is giving the gift and to whom he’s giving it you may be taking an educated guess and may get it right.<\/p>\n
So your science fair project can be based on an educated guess such as the one above based on your knowledge of some facts. For instance if you take a cube of ice out of the freezer and place it outside it will melt. That’s a fact, but how soon will it melt? Guessing the time is a hypothesis you make. Will it be 30 minutes or more. How will the temperature of the room delay or speed up the time. You get the idea for a good science experiment<\/a> with this hypothesis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you get down to working on a science fair project you are encouraged to start using the scientific method.
