A student asked, "Which brand of battery lasts the longest?" What statement is the best hypothesis for this experiment?

• If my toy train is left turned on, then it will run out of battery life.

• If my toy train set is plugged into the wall, then the batteries will not be used.

• If I change the batteries in my toy train set every week, then it will not run out of power.

• If I use the Power Up battery in my toy train, then it will last longer than other batteries.

For scientific data to be considered accurate and reliable, most science experiments should be

• Conducted as many times as possible

• Conducted 3 times

• Conducted only 1 time

• Repeated no more than 2 times
