Asked by ty
Yosef is playing with different kinds of rubber bands. Some are very narrow and some are quite wide. Yosef is curious about the rubber bands, and develops this scientific question: Does the width of a rubber band affect how easily it can be stretched?
He decides to develop a hypothesis to test this scientific question. What could Yosef's hypothesis be?

A clear, testable hypothesis Yosef could use is:
"If a rubber band's width increases, then it will be harder to stretch; that is, for the same applied force a wider rubber band will stretch less than a narrower one."
(Independent variable: rubber band width. Dependent variable: how easily it stretches — e.g., extension under a fixed force or force required for a fixed extension. Controls: same material, same thickness/age, same starting length, same temperature.)
