  1. Science and New Hypotheses

  2. Attempt to form hypotheses for the following: • Stars Twinkle. • Birds sing. • Air is odourless. • Turtles can find the same beach on the same night of the year in order to lay eggs, year after year. • Berries taste good. • Human children like cuddly toys.

  3. Are your hypotheses testable? • Design a practical test to…test…the hypothesis. • Find fault in others’ attempts.

  4. Suppose your test fails. • Come up with another testable hypothesis.

  5. How do scientists make new hypotheses?

  6. CREATIVITY • It has been argued that the most creative human minds belong (ed) to scientists. Do you agree?
