This scientific method resource about hypotheses contains two interactive science notebook pages and an editable 27 slide PowerPoint. The notes are about about what a hypothesis is and how to write a good hypothesis. The If/then format and the placement of the independent variable before the dependent variable are emphasized.

More about the interactive notebook pages:

• The first INB page is used to introduce what a hypothesis is and how to write a hypothesis in the correct format.
• The second INB page gives students practice identifying the parts of hypotheses and determining if they are correctly written.
• Both INB pages emphasize the If/then format and having the independent variable before the dependent variable.
• The INB pages are in PDF form and are not editable.
• The pages can be used alone, with a PowerPoint, or as an activity. An answer key is included.

About the PowerPoint:

• The PowerPoint is 27 slides long.
• It includes notes and plenty of practice and examples for students.
• It can be used with or without the interactive notebook pages.
• The PowerPoint is a no-frills kind of PowerPoint but is 100% editable so teachers can adapt it to their needs.

This resource is also available at a discount as part of the Scientific Method Interactive Notebook Bundled PACKAGE, which comes with INB pages and PowerPoints about a wide variety of different topics of the scientific method.

• “My students are rocking hypotheses due to this!”
• “This worked perfectly for my students. They commented on how it made it easier for them to understand.”
• “Hypothesis is easy now!”
