DEVELOPING A
HYPOTHESIS AND TITLE
FOR YOUR EXPERIMENT
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
1. Formulate a question.
2. Research the question.
3. Form a hypothesis.
4. Conduct an experiment to test your
hypothesis.
5. Analyze data.
6. Draw Conclusions.
7. Communicate results.
THE FOUNDATION OF THE
EXPERIMENT
The development of a hypothesis is the first
step in designing and conducting an experiment.
The hypothesis should be:
clear,
 specific,
and testable.
THE HYPOTHESIS…
Is the prediction for the outcome of the
experiment.
States the relationship between the
independent and dependent variable!
FORMAT
 If the (independent variable) is (describe change)
 Then the (dependent variable) will (describe change)
A SCENARIO
Mr. Joralemon tested to see if the amount
of TV had an effect on how many times a
baby wakes up during the night
He had his niece watch 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3
hrs, and 4 hrs of TV
THE EXPERIMENT
IV: TV Time (1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr)
DV: How many times his niece woke up
during the night
Hypothesis: If the (amount of TV time) is
(increased), then the (amount of times the
baby wakes up during the night) will
(increase)
THE HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis: If the (amount of TV time) is
(increased), then the (amount of times the
baby wakes up during the night) will
(increase)
This hypothesis states the relationship
between the amount of TV time (IV) and
the # of times the baby wakes up (DV)
EXPERIMENT TITLE
Like your hypothesis, you also use a
specific format on the title of your
experiment
Your title also shows the relationship
between the IV and DV
THE TITLE OF YOUR
EXPERIMENT…
Is written in the following format:
“The Effect of (Independent Variable) on
the (Dependent Variable).”
Remember, in your experiment, you are
looking to see if the IV has an effect on the
DV
A SCENARIO
Mr. Joralemon tested to see if the amount
of TV had an effect on how many times a
baby wakes up during the night
He had his niece watch 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs,
and 4 hrs of TV
THE TITLE
The Effect of (the Amount of TV Time)
on the (Number of times the Baby Wakes
Up During the Night).”
Remember, in your experiment, you are
looking to see if the IV has an effect on the
DV
EFFECT VS AFFECT
Effect is a noun.
It refers to the outcome of an experiment.
It is ALWAYS used when writing Titles.
Affect is a verb.
It means “to influence or act upon something.”
SOME PRACTICE
1. Each group must give each student in the group a specific
number of 1-4.
2. I will put a scenario up on the screen.
3. Each group will discuss the scenario with each other and
identify your variables.
4. I will then call out a student number and a question for you to
answer. That student must write down the answer though the
teammates can help.
5. I will call a team at random and check to see if you got it!
SCENARIO 1
Mayor Bloomberg set up an experiment to
see if the amount of sleep affects the
reading scores of 4th graders
SCENARIO 2
Justin Bieber beliebes that all of his
tattoos will make girls more attracted to him
He decides to test if the number of
tattoos has an effect on how many girls
approach him over the course of a year.
SCENARIO 3
 Sidney Crosby set up an experiment to determine if the weight of
a hockey puck has an effect on the speed of his slapshot. He
measured his shot in mph.
SCENARIO 4
 Dr. Frankenstein set up an experiment to see if the amount of
time student spend on homework each night had an effect on their
Science Regents Score
