3) Construct a Hypothesis: A hypothesis is a posible answer to the original question. The Hypothesis must be state as "if I do this - then - this will happen."Is basicly a guess about how things work.

4) Text your hypothesis by doing an experiment: In the experiment you will determined wheter your hypothesis was true or false. You should always have a fair text. Make sure that you change one factor at a time. Most repeact the experiment several times to make sure that the first results weren't just an accident.
