two ways I know of: contemplation, observation

1. if you see lights come on and go off when someone touches something on the wall, you might hypothesize a relation between the action and effect

2. lacking observation, some brilliant people apply all that they know about an issue and "jump" to a conclusion ie a hypothesis. One example might be by knowing the established relation F=ma (force = mass times acceleration). One might hypothesize that a similar relation might hold for energy (and it does, Einstein's E=mc^2 energy=mass Times Square of a velocity )

What includes observation and measurements?

Science includes observation and measurements as fundamental components. Observations provide data that can be used to generate hypotheses, while measurements quantify these observations, allowing scientists to test and validate their hypotheses. Together, observation and measurements form the basis of scientific inquiry and the development of new knowledge.


Which or the following is not a way that scientists generate hypothesis?

Scientists typically generate hypotheses through observations, existing research, and theoretical frameworks. However, one method that is not commonly used is making random guesses without any basis in prior knowledge or evidence. Effective hypothesis generation relies on systematic reasoning and empirical data rather than arbitrary speculation.

How do scientists find answers to questions?

Scientists find answers to questions through a systematic process known as the scientific method. This involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments to test those hypotheses, and analyzing the results. Data collected from experiments help scientists draw conclusions and revise their hypotheses if necessary. Peer review and replication of results by other scientists further validate the findings.

After making careful observations sctientist construct?

After making careful observations, scientists construct hypotheses to explain their observations. These hypotheses are then tested through experiments to determine their validity. Based on the results of experiments, scientists may revise their hypotheses or draw conclusions to further advance knowledge in the field.


Scientist form what hypotheses to answer questions?

Scientists form hypotheses to propose a possible explanation or answer to a specific question or problem they are investigating. These hypotheses are testable and help guide the research process to determine if the proposed explanation is correct or needs to be revised.
