What should one do if the results of the experiment consistently do not support the original hypothesis group of answer choices?
What should one do if the results of an experiment consistently do not support the original hypothesis? Reject the original hypothesis and formulate a new hypothesis.

How do you handle failure in research?
How to deal with failure
- If something doesn’t work, try it again.
- If it still doesn’t work, sit down and list all the components involved. Think about where the weak link might be.
- Design a logical and simple troubleshooting process to find the problem.
- If you still have no success, ask for help.
How do you write a conclusion for a failed experiment?
How do you write a conclusion for a failed experiment?
- Restate: Restate the lab experiment by describing the assignment.
- Explain: Explain the purpose of the lab experiment.
- Results: Explain your results.
- Uncertainties: Account for uncertainties and errors.
What happens when your data do not support your hypothesis?
If the data consistently do not support the hypothesis, then CLEARLY, the hypothesis is NOT a reasonable explanation of what you are investigating. The hypothesis is rejected, and we search for a new interpretation, an new hypothesis that supports the experimental data.
Is it possible to definitively disprove a hypothesis?
First, it is important to note that you can definitively disprove something, but it is impossible to prove or confirm a hypothesis, only to support it. Whether your hypothesis was supported or not, the experiment added to what you know about your initial question, and there are always more questions to answer.
When is a science experiment considered a failure?
Typically, the hypothesis is based on previous findings, such as how certain chemicals react. The science experiment is designed to disprove or support the initial hypothesis. When the findings do not align with the hypothesis, the experiment is not a failure.
Which is the best description of a hypothesis?
A hypothesis is an idea that a scientist creates as the basis for an experiment. Typically, the hypothesis is based on previous findings, such as how certain chemicals react. The science experiment is designed to disprove or support the initial hypothesis.
