The video explores how plants and animals behave, posing questions like why flowers open in the morning or why dogs shake off water. It introduces the scientific method, focusing on forming and testing hypotheses. An example hypothesis is that seedlings move to follow the sun. The video explains how to test such hypotheses, emphasizing the importance of scientific inquiry.

• Conducting experiments

• Collecting data

How can a hypothesis be described?

• A proven fact

• An untestable idea

• A clear statement of the expected answer

• A random guess

What is an example of a hypothesis about plant behavior?

• Flowers bloom only at night

• Seedlings move following the sun during the day

• Plants grow faster in the dark

• Leaves change color in summer

What is the next step after forming a hypothesis in the scientific method?
