This depends very much on the conditions the mold was grown under. For instance, if we are comparing how mold grows in light versus how mold grows in the dark, our null hypothesis may be 'Mold grows more rapidly in light than in the dark'. An essential factor to consider when setting a hypothesis is to ensure that it is testable (i.e. we are able to test the validity of the hypothesis and choose to accept/refute it). Hence, a statement such as 'Mold grows better in light than in the dark' is not testable (and would thus not qualify as a hypothesis), since there is no scientific definition of what is being implied by the term 'better'.

When in a science inquiry would scientists find out if their hypothesis is supported?

When their hypothesis for the conducted experiment is accurate.


What hypothesis can you use for a middle school science fair project?

A hypothesis is your best educated guess on what the outcome of the science fair project is going to be. So you would first need to come up with the science experiment that you want to do before you can come up with your hypothesis. Example: if your science project was mixing baking soda and vinegar together to see what type of reaction you will get, your hypothesis is your guess on what is going to happen when you mix the baking soda and vinegar together. So my hypothesis for that experiment of mixing baking soda and vinegar together is that it will foam up and overflow from the container that I mixed them in. If that happens then my hypothesis was correct. So you need to have an experiment in mind before you can make your hypothesis for the experiment.


What is a science answer to a science question?

Usually the current 'answer' to a scientific problem would be called a theory. However when used in an experiment people refer to the current answer to a problem as the nul hypothesis and the new, to be tested, theory as the alternative hypothesis.


When would you have to restate your hypothesis?

If, through your experiment, your original hypothesis is falsified.


How would you know if the hypothesis is supported?

exact science consists in: -observation -hypothesis -experiment -conlusion when this conslusion is valuable for a great range of observations, and several experiments prove this, it is generally accepted.

What is formulating a new question called in a science experiment?

A new question in an experiment would be a revised hypothesis.

Is a scientist hypothesis accepted if there is no way to prove that they hypothesis is wrong?

If you develop an experiment that truly demonstrates that the hypothesis is wrong*, then the hypothesis will lose its acceptance in the scientific community. * Such an experiment would have to be repeatable by other scientists AND accepted by interested scientists as a proof that the hypothesis is wrong.

Where do you use hypothesis?

You would use a hypothesis during an experiment. The experiment does not necessarily have to be of science, though the term hypothesis is primarily used for such category.wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn defines hypothesisas# a proposal intended to explain certain facts or observations # guess: a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence A hypothesis is seen in the beginning of an experiment, stating a prediction by the one(s) conducting and carrying out the experiment. The rest of the experiment, or procedure with data, then serves to prove the hypothesis a true and possible prediction, or to be incorrect. The outcome of the experiment is what determines if the stated hypothesis is a successful and true proposal.The hypothesis's success or failure is recorded in the conclusion section of the experiment, located reasonably at the end.-youFITCH.


Describe the experiment you would perform to test your hypothesis?

It depends entirely on what the hypothesis is.


Which sentence was the most likely hypothesis for the experiment?

The most likely hypothesis for the experiment was that increasing the temperature would speed up the reaction.


What would be the best thing to do if you run an experiment and find out the hypothesis is incorrect?

Reject the hypothesis.


Did your test support hypothesis why are why not?

yes my answers did support hypothesis because if u actully did the science experiment you would know if u also had studied so go STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!! IF UR COMMING HERE FOR AWSERS
