Does the qualitative observations have to be related to what your hypothesis is?
Original Answer:I would tie it back in and show whether it helped to reject/fail to reject your hypothesis.Different Answer:A hypothesis (Informal definition), is basically a question based on anticipated results. The experiment is created to try to prove or disprove that hypothesis. When conducting an experiment, only three results can occur. That is the hypothesis is confirmed, the hypothesis is incorrect, or the results were inconclusive. Of the three possible answer, the third is the most maddening as it could indicate that something is wrong with your experiment.Sometimes the most fascinating discoveries come from observations that are either inconclusive, or disprove a hypothesis.
What do you mean by 'hunch' in hypothesis?
A hunch is a feeling not based on anything factual. To have a hunch means to have "a gut feeling" based on intuition or past experiences. Using a hunch, you make a guess about why something is happening, although the answer may not always be correct.A hypothesis could be based on a hunch but the scientist doing this would then TEST the hypothesis using the scientific method to prove or disprove its validity.
Experiments can be used to show what?
Causation
How do you know the students in the above study are acting as scientist?
Students could be seen to be acting as scientist if they are following the scientific method - Make observations, postulate a hypothesis, and form and complete experiments or further observations to confirm or refute that hypothesis.
How does an experiment test the hypothesis?
because your hypothesis could be right or wrong
Did Spallanzani's experiment disprove the hypothesis that microorganisms could arise spontaneously from a vital force contained in the air?
No, it didn't disprove the hypothesis.
Why is the snorg hypothesis not scientific?
There is no experiment or possible evidence that could prove that invisible snorgs do not exist. So the Snorg Hypothesis is not scientific. On the other hand, the "Negative Snorg Hypothesis" (that they do not exist) is scientific. You can disprove it by catching one.

Is a hypothesis the phrase immediately following the word then is called the hypothesis of a statement?
OK, need to re-word that a bit due to restrictions on asking a question on this site.

They hypothesis is the phrase following the word "if".However, answering the rest of the question, the hypothesis would be called the hypothesis of a statement.

It needs one counter example.Facts.

What is the hypothosis of 'why did only 50 percent of sugar bean seeds germinate ang grow?
Your hypothesis is the answer to that question. It could be like 'only 50% of the sugar bean seeds germinated because the other 50% was afraid of the light. ' The next step is to find some tests you could do to disprove your hypothesis(prove the hypothesis is wrong). Like letting your seeds germinate in the dark (but at the same temperature and humidity) and when illuminated with red, blue, or white leds.

Is forming a hypothesis is the same as solving a problem?
No To form a hypothesis is an attempt to explain something just by your own thought (could be anything, but typically an observation, phenomenon, or some other scientific problem). To be a "valid hypothesis" the hypothesis should be testable (typically through empiric investigation) ... and it probably shouldn't sound outright absurd (from a scientific POW) ... depends. ... hope that helps.
What is a process used by scientists to find answers to questoins?
The scientific method. Assuming you already know what you want to find out, make a hypothesis (guess) about what you THINK the answer to the question may be. Then, perform a test to prove or disprove your hypothesis. If it doesn't, ask further questions and repeat. (Very broad description, I could go into detail, but I assume you want simplicity.)
