Generating & Testing Hypothesis
Research shows that a deductive approach (using a general rule to make prediction) to this strategy works best. Whether a hypothesis is induced or deduced, students should clearly explain their hypotheses and conclusions.
Applications:
*Ask students to predict what would happen if an aspect of a familiar system, such as the government or transportation, were changed.
*Ask students to build something using limited resources. This task generates questions and hypotheses about what may or may not work.
