Example:
I predict that distilled water will make a plant grow faster than tap water.
Do a 2-4 week experiment watering six plants (3 with distilled water and 3 with tap water) of the same species. Measure the growth every week in cm and compare it. IN the end you will find out if you prediction was correct or not.
Hope this helps
No, a hypothesis is. A variable is the thing being tested in the experiment.
In scientific method the "prediction" is the theory that the scientific test (the experiment) is being conducted to prove (or disprove).

The purpose is why you are doing the experiment. What do you want to fond out?? The hypothesis is your prediction on the outcome of the experiment. It is usually written in an If...Then...Because form
The Answer is THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE.
