The Hypothesis

Please review the following links. They will help you as you formulate your hypothesis for Iteration 3. The first two links illustrate how to write a hypothesis & gives you some great tips. The third link provides an outline of how medical research is performed... (the research process used by scientists is not much different than the process you are using for your research project!)

Writing a Hypothesis Statement
Good vs. Bad Hypothesis Statement
Developing a Clinical Research Protocol: The Survival Guide

The Hypothesis may be the hardest part of the research process!  A good hypothesis takes time to formulate and requires background research on the part of the scientist.  Scientists ALWAYS take their time when formulating hypotheses because they want to make sure they work on an important project, helping the scientific community as a whole.  So take your time and SHARE your thoughts with your "neighbor" during the last few days of the workshop so as a "community" you can learn new things to share with others.
