A Claim is based on the results of the experiment. It can answer the hypothesis but it is based solely on the data collected. Or simpler; Claims must have evidence, a hypothesis should have research and a prediction is what I think will happen.
How do you determine which hypothesis is the claim?
If the given claim contains equality, or a statement of no change from the given or accepted condition, then it is the null hypothesis, otherwise, if it represents change, it is the alternative hypothesis.
What are the 3 requirements of a hypothesis?
Scientific claims are statements made in science based on an experiment. They're claims just like you might find in other classes, but they are backed by experimental data you created, as well as the work of other scientists.
What makes a scientific claim?
Your students might suggest this explanation: Air is matter (claim). We found that the weight of the ball increased each time we pumped more air into it (evidence). This shows that air has weight, one of the characteristics of matter (reasoning).
