Science Fair -- Hypothesis Time!

It is time to come up with your hypothesis for your science fair project.  A hypothesis is an educated guess about what will happen in your science experiment.  A hypothesis should show that you have done some research.  Please post your hypothesis on Kidblog.

What is a hypothesis?

If you are doing a demonstration instead of an experiment, you will need to explain what you are demonstrating before you complete it.  Please show that you did significant research.

Our school science fair is on February 9.  Please make sure your science project is completed and brought to school by February 7.  Check out the science fair directions.
