a testable statement (not a question) that could be determined to be false at the conclusion of your research (if it were to actually be conducted). Based on your hypothesis, you should come up with and clearly identify at least one dependent and one independent variable. These variables must appear in your hypothesis. You should also identify at least one control variable that might affect your results, and explain how this control variable may affect the relationship between your independent and dependent variables.

Based on your hypothesis, you should come up with and clearly identify at least one dependent and one independent variable. These variables must appear in your hypothesis. You should also identify at least one control variable that might affect your results, and explain how this control variable may affect the relationship between your independent and dependent variables.
