The ACT Science Test assesses students' scientific reasoning skills through analysis of scientific information and data.
A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction that can be tested by experiments. On the ACT, you might need to evaluate whether a hypothesis fits the data.
Scientists propose hypotheses all the time, from predicting disease outbreaks to exploring outer space. Critical evaluation helps science move forward.
Judging if a hypothesis about solar energy production matches the observed power output.
Determining if the evidence supports a claim about acid rain effects.
