form a hypothesis

After doing background research, the next step is to propose a testable hypothesis (a specific prediction you can evaluate with an experiment). For example: “If oxygen levels in the air decrease, then the rate of photosynthesis will decrease,” which she can then test by designing and performing an experiment.
