Components of the Investigatory Problem

The Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an educated guess that is made based on what the person conducting the study or project already knows about a problem.


The Experimental Design

In the investigatory process, the component that presents the details of the experiment is known as experimental design.

In designing an experiment, it is important to remember that the experiment should be a fair test, or one in which only one variable of the experiment is changed at a time while the other variables remain the same.
