Answer:

If a plant gets more sunlight, then it will grow more because sunlight is beneficial and necessary for plant growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

*This is only one way to write the hypothesis if you believe something else will happen you should reword it. The hypothesis should be based on your own educated guess.

Hypotheses should be written in the if-then-because format. This means to begin your hypothesis with the word if and explain your independent variable. Next, use the word then and explain what you believe will happen. Finally, write because and explain why you believe this phenomenon will occur. Hypotheses do not need to be 100% correct; it is common for scientists to be incorrect before an experiment. Hypotheses are just guesses based on research. If you are incorrect at the end of an experiment, simply explain that and what actually happened in your conclusion.
