If your hypthesis is not supported, you may need to think about it; it may then be revised and tested again

How can a experiment support or fail to support a hypothesis?

a hypothesis is given to explain a phenomena which has not been explained till then. it can be supported by an experiment if that experiment gets the other results regarding that particular phenomena in agreement with that being predicted by the hypothesis and if any contradictory fact arises or the result doesnt match the prediction then the hypothesis is again thought upon or totally discarded at times


What do you think must be done if the conclusion does not support a hypothesis?

When you draw picture than you will need to repeat several times


What does it mean if the experiment does not support a hypothesis?

no because the hypothesis is a guess to try and predict of what the conclusion is going to be, and it dosent matter if it dosent support the conclusion the experiment is still right


What do scientists do if their data does not support their hypothesis?

They still chart the data. Then they go back to their hypothesis and change it/fix it up a bit. After they have a new (but one that still relates to their old hypothesis) hypothesis, they re-do their experiment. Ex) "I believe girls have better quiz scores than boys because they have better short term memory" If your hypothesis is incorrect (ie: the boys do better) then you need to change the hypothesis and test it again--> "I believe girls have better quiz scores because they have better long term memory".


What is the difference between a hypothesis and law?

A hypothesis is an educated guess based on past scientific studies and previous experiments. It is not just a random guess.Once a hypothesis is proved to be true multiple times and by various scientists, it is moved up to a theory. A theoryis believed to be true by the scientific community but the whole picture or reasons why the theory is true may not be understood. Example the theory of gravity, we know it's true but why and how does gravity work.Then when scientists think they can satisfactorily explain the science behind the theory it is moved up to a law. Newton's laws of motion, the laws of thermodynamics are examples.The progression is hypothesis --> theory --> law.In modern times it is less likely that the scientific community to proclaim a law.

What could be two reasons why the data might not support the hypothesis?

Two reasons why data might not support a hypothesis are that the experiment had a flaw or was not repeated enough times. This happens a lot.

What happends if you test a hypothesis multiple times and the data doesn't support your prediction?

That means that your prediction was wrong and that you should include your results in the conclusion and try to explain some of the reasons why your prediction was wrong and if it was wrong because you were doing the experiment wrong.

Suppose the data does not support the hypothesis What should you do to the theory that you gave the hypothesis?

It ultimately depends on what your theory is. Sometimes the fact that your data doesn't support your hypothesis means that the theory from which the hypothesis was derived was altogether wrong and is therefore discarded. Other times it might just mean a simple modification of the original theory, to accommodate the new-found evidence.The most important thing to remember is that your data will not always support your hypothesis, and in the event that such happens, you end learning a whole lot more.A.B.C.D.its A

What is a hypothesis that has been tested many times and found to be true?

If a hypothesis has been tested many times (using approved experimental methods), and each test has proven the hypothesis to be true, the hypothesis can be taken to be a fact, or truth.
