Plant growth may be affected by the color

of the light.

Hypothesis

Page 11: Hypotheses: How are They Written? Plant growth may be affected by the color of the light. Hypothesis.

Trees will change color when it gets cold.

Ultraviolet light causes skin cancer.

Hypothesis

Temperature may cause leaves to change color.

or

If leaf color change is related to temperature , then exposing plants to varied temperatures will result in

changes in leaf color.

Hypothesis

Ultra violet light may cause skin cancer.

or

If skin cancer is related to ultraviolet light , then people with a high exposure to UV light will have a higher frequency

of skin cancer.

Hypothesis

Page 23: Hypotheses: How are They Written? Plant growth may be affected by the color of the light. Hypothesis.

If skin cancer is related to ultraviolet light, then people with a high

exposure to UV light will have a higher frequency of skin cancer.

If leaf color change is related to temperature, then exposing plants to

low temperatures will result in changes in leaf color.

Notice that these statements contain the words, if and then. They are necessary in a formalized hypothesis.

Ifskin cancer is

related to ultraviolet light,

then people with a

high exposure to UV light will have

a higher frequency of skin

cancer.

Hypothesis

Page 25: Hypotheses: How are They Written? Plant growth may be affected by the color of the light. Hypothesis.

Formalized hypotheses contain two variables. One is "independent" and the other is "dependent." The independent variable is the one you, the "scientist" control and the dependent variable is the one that you observe and/or measure the results.

If leaf color change is related to

temperature, then exposing

plants to low temperatures

will result in changes in leaf color.

Page 26: Hypotheses: How are They Written? Plant growth may be affected by the color of the light. Hypothesis.

Rewrite the hypotheses using the formalized. Single underline the dependent

variable and double underline the independent. When you are done, write

one more original hypothesis of your own using this form.

 1. Salt in soil may affect plant growth.

2. Plant growth may be affected by the color of the light.

3. Bacterial growth may be affected by temperature.

The ultimate value of a formalized hypothesis is…

…it forces us to think about what results we should look

for in an experiment.
