    A premise, a sort of guess what might happen if you do this and that. What subject?

    What does one study in integrated science? Is that like general science that covers many topics?

    Our class only covers chemistry and physics

    So you have been assigned to do what regarding a hypothesis?

    A hypothesis is an educated guess as to what you think will happen under certain circumstances. It's usually used in scientific terms, like my hypothesis is that Bounty will be more absorbent than Charmin. It's also a step in the scientific method, where it is commonly used. :-) If you'd like more information search ''scientific method hypothesis'' and you should get plenty of results. I hope I helped!

    Yup, CLuvsSoccer is right. It's some sort of scientific guess, that can provide an explain a certain phenomenon, or explain a problem. Say you have a certain problem that you need to solve. You have to guess where that problem originates. By considering the situation, you'll have several guesses on where might the problem come from exactly and solve it. In this case, you have developed several hypotheses and check them all. Once you pin pointed the problem, you can more easily solve it. Is it clear?

    Hope it helped! :)

    A hypothosis is an educated guess and seeing as though it is about sciece and physics it pretty much means when you add two or more substances together what do you think the new substances could be.

    Basically it means you just need to predict what might happen

    HOPE IT HELPS!
