What this topic is
ACT Science items on Predicting and extending experiments ask students to use a study's design, tables, and figures to forecast what would happen if a procedure were changed, repeated, or carried further.
A student must keep independent and dependent variables and controls in mind and pick a next step that actually tests the stated hypothesis. Questions usually follow a research summary and offer short choices describing a new trial, a predicted trend, or an extra measurement.
Common traps include reversing cause and effect, stretching a trend past the given data, and varying the wrong factor.
Every question is picked for where you are right now, wrong answers come back until they stick, and it all works offline.
