About the framework

Connect experimental results to the next question

Observation leads to Ask a Question, Background Research, Form Hypothesis, Design Experiment, Collect Data, and Analyze Results. The Supports Hypothesis? diamond then sends Yes to Report Conclusion and No to Revise Hypothesis, which returns to Design Experiment.

The 10 nodes provide a classroom outline rather than a worked experiment. No variables, measurements, controls, or results are supplied. The drawing only connects reporting to the Yes branch, so an adaptation can add reporting for results that do not support the hypothesis as well.

Choose a research question and replace the general labels with the actual investigation. Add what will be measured, how comparisons will be made, and what evidence would support or challenge the proposed explanation.

What's included

What you get

  • Ten nodes spanning observation, investigation, and reporting
  • Separate background research and hypothesis steps
  • Data collection followed by analysis and an evidence check
  • A revision loop returning to experiment design

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

Where does a revised hypothesis go next?

The sample connects Revise Hypothesis back to Design Experiment, allowing a new test to be planned.

Does this contain a completed experiment?

No. It supplies the process labels only. Add your question, experimental setup, observations, and results to create a worked example.

Can I show reporting when the hypothesis is unsupported?

Yes. Ask for both decision outcomes to include reporting. The supplied drawing places Report Conclusion only on the Yes branch.
