Question

I’LL GIVE YOU A LOT OF POINTS

A hypothesis is an educated guess based upon observation. It is an
explanation of a single event based upon what is observed. A hypothesis has not
been proved but can be supported by experimentation.
a) Suppose that out of 10 trees planted in a yard, only five survived. What kind of
hypothesis could you make about this observation or event? Remember that a
hypothesis needs to have a certain format.
b) How could you test this hypothesis? What type of experiment could you perform?

Answer 1

If you don’t give a tree enough light, then it will die. you can do an experiment where you put one tree in an area where there is no sun, and put another tree in a well lit area. this will show that only the tree that views the sun grows.

Answer 2

a) My hypothesis is in this case is that the environmental conditions in the yard were too extreme which resulted in half of the trees dying.

b) I can test this hypothesis by asking myself, what environmental conditions were the trees in that caused half of them to die? I could read about different biomes and their climates and learn how well they support organic life such as grass, plants, crops, and even trees. I can then determine that half of the trees did not survive due to the extreme environmental conditions they were in.

Here you go!
