Suggest a new hypothesis that could lead a different experiment
A hypothesis is your first guess at how something/ your experiment is going to turn out. If the results you get match your hypothesis you can declare that it provides evidence to suggest that your hypothesis is true.
Here's an educated guess. It means that a body of evidence apparently supports a hypothesis, but more and stronger evidence is needed before the hypothesis can be taken seriously. The evidence that suggests the validity of the hypothesis may even be anecdotal, or general untested 'knowledge', or informally gathered. Some experimentation has to be done to try to refute the hypothesis. You would not want to put a lot of weight on the assumption that the hypothesis is absolutely true until you have exhausted, to the best of your ability, the possibility that it is false.
An hypothesis is an idea, notion, conjecture, assertion or statement about reality. The activity we call science is about putting forward and testing hypotheses. For example, you could test your notion that nickel might be magnetic by putting it near a magnet. If it was clearly attracted, you could suggest that "nickel is magnetic" was not just an hypothesis but a fact. If not, you might test with an even stronger magnet, and so on. Testable hypotheses, especially those that help to explain why things act the way they do, are important because they prompt activities which can improve scientific knowledge.
As long as Jessica has information to back up her hypothesis there is nothing wrong with it.

I suggest http://www.neok12.com/Science-Experiments.htm. The site supplies an array of science projects for all ages varying in difficulty and contains instructions, videos, and fun facts about science.

A hypothesis can suggest an explanation for an observed phenomenon that can later be tested through experimentation

The semi-strong form of the efficient market hypothesis states that all publicly available information is reflected in stock prices, while the strong form goes further to suggest that all information, including insider information, is already priced in. In essence, the strong form includes all information available, whether public or private, whereas the semi-strong form considers only publicly available information.
