Step 4: Formulate a hypothesis

The purpose of your science fair project is to create a test (an experiment) to find out the answer to a question that interests you. What is the problem or question you have at this point? What do you think is going to be the answer to your question? You are now ready to go to the next section and actually design your experiment.
