Science Project Guidelines

by Elizabeth Stryjewski
Kennedy Space Center

Formulating a hypothesis

Come up with an idea about something you want to test. A hypothesis is just an idea of what you think might happen given the understanding youve gained on the subject while doing your background research. You will learn much more about your project as you work through it and your hypothesis can change accordingly. The main purpose of setting a hypothesis at the beginning is to keep you focused on answering a specific question and to keep your experiment on track . It is not intended to lock you into one idea that cant be changed later on when you find that it was incorrect. An example of a hypothesis would be: Does frost have a damaging effect on tropical plant growth?
