Question 16 • LPISD Earth Systems A - CR

For which question could a scientist develop a testable hypothesis?

Answer
A
Which grocery store is the best?
B
When will dinosaurs roam Earth again?
C
Do all kinds of wood float in water?
D
Should everyone use solar-powered cars?

Explanation

A testable hypothesis makes a prediction that can be checked through observation or an experiment. A scientist can put different kinds of wood in water and observe whether they float. “Which grocery store is the best?” and “Should everyone use solar-powered cars?” depend on opinions, while dinosaurs returning to Earth is not a testable scientific question.
