IMPORTANCE/GENERATING OF A HYPOTHESIS

Forming an Hypothesis before conducting an experiment is very important in the experimental process. Without a hypothesis you have no desired effect.

When generating a hypothesis you can make a educated guess based on observations.

CONTROL, DEPENDENT, AND INDEPENDENT VARIABLESControl Variable- A control variable is the

one element that is not being changed throughout the experiment, because it affects the other independent variable.

Therefore affecting the outcome.Dependent Variable- Is the variable

changing because of the independent variable in the experiment.

Independent Variable- Is the variable being manipulated or changed during the experiment.

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION, NEGOTIATION AND DEBATE IN THE SCIENCE COMMUNITY

The importance is if you find out that your hypothesis is true and you told other scientists they might try to prove you wrong. Then they would start debating and try it and found out something else. And that is good for finding out new things.

REPLICATION AND REPETITION

Replication is important Repetition is when

because it is for when you repeat the other scientists replicate experiment overyour experiment to see and over again.if they get a different outcome

CONCLUSIONS IN EXPERIMENT

After you have tested everything in your experiment and have come to a conclusion (or answer) to the experiment.
