Hypothesis

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to figure out why your car won't start in the morning. This situation is similar to forming a hypothesis because, just like a scientist, you come up with possible explanations for the problem, such as a dead battery, an empty fuel tank, or a faulty ignition. Just as a hypothesis serves as a starting point to explain a scientific question, your guesses about the car's issue guide you in diagnosing and solving the problem, with each potential explanation being tested until you find the cause.
