If a hypothesis is supported by one experiment, the next step in the scientific
method is to...
Accept the hypothesis as a theory
Propose a different hypothesis
Publish the results showing you have proved the hypothesis
Revise the hypothesis
Test the same hypothesis using a different prediction - ANSWER Test the same
hypothesis using a different prediction
A company is testing the effects of an additive to candles that is supposed to repel
mosquitoes (this is the hypothesis). They predict that mosquito traps will catch
fewer mosquitoes over the course of four hours when the traps are place near a
candle with the additive added compared to traps near candles without the
additive. The company tests their prediction by placing fifty candles with the
additive around a large, outdoor space with traps near each candle. After four
hours they collect the traps and count the mosquitoes. Two weeks later, they
repeat the procedure using candles without the additive. What is wrong this
scenario?
The prediction does not follow from the hypothesis if the hypothesis is correct
There is no control group in the experiment
Temperature, rainfall, and wind are not controlled variables
