Prediction of the effect of a particular change in the IV and the corresponding effect on the DV
Explanation that logically demonstrates the reasoning that the IV would have the predicted effect on the DV
Model predicted graphical results related to explanation
I predict that if I increase / decrease ... then ... will ...
This is because...
Other sources that supports my hypothesis are....
My prediction is testable. I know this because ....
Level 0:
The plane will travel really far.
Level 1-2:
As the initial height increase, the plane will travel farther.
Level 3-4:
As the initial height increase, the plane will travel farther because there is more gravity at higher heights. (Note: this reasoning is incorrect, but it is scientific)
Level 5-6:
As the initial height increase, the plane will travel farther because there is more gravity at higher heights and will have more time to act on the plane. (Note: this reasoning is partially incorrect but it is scientific)
Level 7-8:
As the initial height increase, the plane will travel farther. Although gravity is constant over the heights of this experiment, gravity will have more time to act on the plane.
