To make a new hypothesis
Which of the following is a characteristic of a good hypothesis?
It is a question.
It cannot be tested.
It is based on opinions.
It can be tested by experiment or observation.
What should you do if your experiment does not support your hypothesis?
Change the data to match your hypothesis
Ignore the results
Form a new hypothesis and test it
Stop experimenting
In problem solving, why is it important to define the problem clearly?
It makes the problem go away.
It helps in finding the right solutions.
It makes the problem easier to ignore.
It allows you to skip other steps.
What role does creativity play in problem solving?
It is not important.
It helps in finding unique solutions.
It makes problems more complicated.
It is only used in the final step.
Why is it important to review and reflect on the problem-solving process after finding a solution?
To prepare for future problems
To make the problem come back
It is not important
To show off your solution
