Question 6 • FL-2003010-M/J Physical Science

For which question could a testable hypothesis be developed?

Answer
A
What is the best-tasting apple?
B
Does all wood float in water?
C
Are kittens cuter than puppies?
D
What color of flower is the prettiest?

Explanation

A testable hypothesis makes a claim that can be checked through observation or an experiment. Whether wood floats in water can be investigated by putting different pieces of wood in water and observing what happens. Taste and prettiness are subjective judgments, so choices A, C, and D are not as objectively testable.
