Activity 2 Formulating Hypothesis

The document provides examples of scientific hypotheses that could be tested in experiments. It gives scenarios about factors that may affect the dissolution rate of Alka-Seltzer tablets in water and the growth of plants. Students are tasked with writing hypotheses in an 'If...then...because...' format to match each scenario.

Activity 2

Scientific Method: A way of solving problems.


Formulating Hypothesis

Name: ____________________________________________________________Grade & Section: __________________


Direction: Write or formulate hypothesis given by different situations.
A student is interested in designing several experiments to test the factors that affect how quickly an Alka-Seltzer® tablet dissolves in
water (solution rate). For each question, write an appropriate hypothesis that could be tested with an experiment. Be sure each
hypothesis is in the proper “If…,then… , because…” format.
Example:
Question: What effect does stirring have on solution rate?
Hypothesis: If the water is stirred, then the tablet will dissolve faster because stirring increases solution rate.
Part 1
1. Question: What effect does the water temperature have on solution rate?
Hypothesis: __________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
2. Question: What effect does crushing the tablet have on solution rate?
Hypothesis: __________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
3. Question: What effect does adding soda to the water have on solution rate?
Hypothesis: __________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Part 2
The next three questions are about factors affecting plant growth. For each question, write an appropriate hypothesis that could be
tested with an experiment. Be sure each hypothesis is in the proper “If…, then…, because…” format.
4. Question: What effect does the amount of light have on plant growth?
Hypothesis: __________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
5. Question: What effect does the amount of water have on plant growth?
Hypothesis: __________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
6. Question: What effect does using plant food (Miracle Grow®) have on plant growth?
Hypothesis: __________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
