How can hypothesis be verified?
verifying hypothesis is by analyzing and observing the problem carefully.

What is an experiment?
An experiment is a method of testing - with the goal of explaining - the nature of reality. Experiments can vary from personal and informal (eg. tasting a range of chocolates to find a favourite), to highly controlled (eg. tests requiring complex apparatus overseen by many scientists hoping to discover information about subatomic particles). More formally, an experiment is a methodical procedure carried out with the goal of verifying, falsifying, or establishing the accuracy of a hypothesis. Experiments vary greatly in their goal and scale, but always rely on repeatable procedure and logical analysis of the results. A child may carry out basic experiments to understand the nature of gravity, while teams of scientists may take years of systematic investigation to advance the understanding of a phenomenon.Experimentation is the step in the scientific method that helps people decide between two or more competing explanations - or hypotheses. These hypotheses suggest reasons to explain a phenomenon, or predict the results of an action. An example might be the hypothesis that "if I release this ball, it will fall to the floor": this suggestion can then be tested by carrying out the experiment of letting go of the ball, and observing the results. Formally, a hypothesis is compared against its opposite or null hypothesis ("if I release this ball, it will not fall to the floor"); the null hypothesis is that there is no explanation or predictive power of the phenomenon through the reasoning that is being investigated. Once hypotheses are defined, an experiment can be carried out - and the results analysed - in order to confirm, refute, or define the accuracy of the hypotheses.Asking what an expirement is pretty much like asking what an experiment is except in the past tense. An experiment is a way one test a theory or idea. The are many ways of going about doing this, but all of these methods are backed by a question, hypothesis, and a procedure.
Can density be seen?
Density is not a visual quality. But we can infer information about density by observing. For example moist air is lighter than dry air - that is why the clouds condense at higher altitudes, not at ground level. {Explanation - H2O has an molecular mass of 28; O2 has an molecular mass of 32; N2 has an molecular mass of 34. Hence H2O vapour is lighter than O2 or N2.}
In a scientific experiment what is the thing the experimenter deliberately changes while observing?
The independent variable.
What is a proposed explanation for an observing which has not been experimentally tested?
A proposed explaination for an observation is called a hypothesis.
How are scientific questions answered (apex)?
Through measuring and observing
How can hypothesis be verified?
verifying hypothesis is by analyzing and observing the problem carefully.
What makes an hypothesis?
Observing scientific experiments that in conclusion provide credit for the hypothesis.
How does a scientis answer a scientific question?
observing & measuring
What is the different science processe?
Different Science Processes Comparing Observing Classifying Predicting Formulating Hypothesis
What do scientific methods begin with?
sci3entist begin by observing, then they form a hypothesis
Is the observation the hypothesis?
no, hypothesis is sort of the fancy way of saying "guess" or "prediction". Observation is doing an experiment or observing (watching)
Is observation the same as hypothesis?
no, hypothesis is sort of the fancy way of saying "guess" or "prediction". Observation is doing an experiment or observing (watching)
What tool is not used for measuring or observing an object?
Graduated magnifying glass.
What are the examples of scientific skills?
observing, inferring, measuring, communicating, classifying, and predicting.
What is the difference between observation and hypothesis?
The hypothesis is your guess of what will happen with the experiment before you do it. Observation is watching the experiment as it is being performed and observing what is taking place.
