Question

Why is this statement not a hypothesis?

Sunflowers require soil and plenty of sunlight and water to grow and thrive.

Answer 1

It’s stating exactly what is going to happen with no guess and it’s not in an if,then format

Answer 2

a hypothesis tends to go like “if [action] then it should [desired result]” if that makes any sense.

So if that statement were reworded to a hypothesis it would be like “If sunflowers are planted in soil and given plenty of sunlight and water (action) it will grow and thrive (desired result).”

i have no idea if that made any sense but like thats the best way i can explain it
