Keema and Diego go fishing every year at the same lake. This year they notice they are not catching as much fish as they normally do. Keema says to Diego, “I think there are fewer fish than last year because of higher levels of pollution from the power plant that was built down the road last year.”

Keema’s statement is C. a hypothesis.

It is a guess as to why something has happened.

Noticing they are not catching as much fish as they normally do is an observation.
