Chapter 1, Problem 16BS

If you pay attention, you will find yourself conducting many hypothesis-driven experiments each day. Over the next day, try to think of a good example where you performed a simple experiment to test a hypothesis about some observation. Write the experience out as a story, and then rewrite it using the steps of the scientific method (observation, question, hypothesis, prediction, and so on).

Design a (hypothetical) experiment that adheres to the Scientific Method. Be sure to include all the necessary requirements at each step and give examples at all of the steps. Start with an observation, whether it's real or made up, state the null hypothesis, and design an experiment (including an experimental and control group, random sampling, sample size, and reproducibility) that will allow the student to reject or fail to reject the hypothesis, and state (hypothetical) 'actual' results and the appropriate conclusion to draw from those results.
What are three important thing you will consider when settting up an experiment to investigate a phenomenon? Explain why?
A useful hypothesis typically accomplishes these two things: Group of answer choices it is falsifiable and clear it clearly establishes a null hypothesis and it generates a testable prediction it can be easily disproved and will be considered a theory if not disproved it frames an experiment that can shed light on the observation and guides design of the experiment
