Hypothesis
A hypothesis is basically a guess or prediction based on what you think might happen or what you may think will be true.

How can you test this hypothesis?
You would have to collect data and then count how many boys there were to girls.
This is where data collection sheets and questionnaires are needed.
Hypothesis
For the last two years, the Brady house have won the sports day. We need to investigate and find out if Brady house really are the best at sports! Maybe some other houses are actually better at
sports than you think!
Along the way you may want to find out if boys are better than girls or vice versa! – ARE YOU GAME?
Hypothesis
Our Hypothesis
To investigate our hypothesis we must first create a data collection sheet.
For example if we wanted to find out if a girl was good at sport, the only way we would find out is by recording her gender.
For this task it is important that you make the sheet user friendly. It must be easy for a sports Judge to fill in.
Hypothesis
