Detailed explanation-1: -A students was doing an experiment using the scientific method. Every three days the student plans to count the green leaves. Which would be a good hypothesis for this experiment? If plants are placed in direct sunlight, then they will grow more green leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -When experimenting with the growth of a plant, a scientist uses three (of the same type of) plants, two different fertilizers, equal light, and equal water. What type of variable is the fertilizer? Independent.
Detailed explanation-3: -The independent variable is the condition that is changed to test the hypothesis while the dependent variable is the that is measured as the result of the changes in the dependent variable.
Detailed explanation-4: -A hypothesis is a possible answer to a question. It is based on: their own observations, existing theories, and information they gather from other sources. Scientists use their hypothesis to make a prediction, a testable statement that describes what they think the outcome of an investigation will be.
