An experiment should test a specific hypothesis. Always ask yourself, “Does my experiment match my hypothesis?” For example, Makiko wanted to test the following hypothesis:
“Gerbils can think better right after they eat.” She built a maze to test her eight gerbils’ thinking ability. At first, she planned to test four gerbils right after they had eaten one brand of gerbil food and the other four after they had eaten another brand of gerbil food.

Would this experiment test Makiko’s hypothesis? Write the hypothesis you think
this experiment would test.
