Module 1; Lesson 1: What is Chemistry

What is the best description of a hypothesis?

• A question or problem that can be solved through experimentation.

• What you perceive with your senses.

• An educated prediction to the answer of a stated problem, based on research and prior knowledge.

• An experiment set up to observe and collect data on how something happens, or to test the hypothesis.
