Experiment

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to figure out why your houseplants keep wilting despite receiving regular water. This situation is similar to testing a scientific hypothesis because you need to identify a possible reason for the problem, such as insufficient sunlight, and then test it under consistent conditions. Just as you might place one plant in a sunny spot and another in the shade to see which thrives, scientists test their hypotheses by changing one variable at a time in controlled settings to gather data and draw conclusions about the cause of a phenomenon.
