A hypothesis is a [...]able statement (it does not need to be a guess, educated or otherwise!) A hypothesis is a testable statement (it does not need to be a guess, educated or otherwise!)
A hypothesis must be a statement that can be [...]. (notice it does not have to be an educated guess) A hypothesis must be a statement that can be tested. (notice it does not have to be an educated guess)
Use the [...] to devise an experiment. Use the hypothesis to devise an experiment.
A scientific experiment is designed to [...]. A scientific experiment is designed to test a hypothesis.
Control all but [...] in a scientific experiment. Control all but one variable in a scientific experiment.
Variables that are kept constant are called [...]. Variables that are kept constant are called controls.
Conclusions are drawn only after [...]. Conclusions are drawn only after analyzing results.
Some experiments do not lead to any conclusions; they are [...]. Some experiments do not lead to any conclusions... they are inconclusive.
A hypothesis that is shown to be false is said to be [...]; it's a good thing. A hypothesis that is shown to be false is said to be rejected... it's a good thing.
A hypothesis that was supported by an experiment is said to be [...], not proven. A hypothesis that was supported by an experiment is said to be validated... not proven.
A hypothesis does not need to be [...] in order for an experiment to be a success. A hypothesis does not need to be correct in order for an experiment to be a success.

True or False: All hypotheses are guesses - [...]! True or False: All hypotheses are guesses *False!*
A hypothesis does not need to be correct for an experiment to be successful because learning that something is [...] is still learning something! A hypothesis does not need to be correct for an experiment to be successful because learning that something is NOT true is still learning something!

An independent variable is one you [...]. An independent variable is one you alter yourself.
