Need help with my GCSE science controlled assesment (Aerobic exercise)

I'm lost. Particularly the planning area, how do you come up with a hypothesis?

Firstly, you need to research the topic you have been given for your controlled assessment. In this case, you will need to research aerobic respiration and the question your teacher will have provided you with. Usually, you will have to consider how various factors affect something. This means you will have to find out about as many factors as you can, then pick one of them. This is be the one that you will test so you need to make sure that it's testable in your school's science laboratory. An example of a hypothesis structure from the topic of acids and alkalis would be:
The more hydrochloric acid added to the solution, the lower the pH of the solution.
I hope this helps. :smile:
