=Some sample hypotheses generated by students:=

IF the pond water is warmer, THEN more duckweed will grow in it.

IF there is more duckweed in the pond THEN more organisms will be in the pond

IF the water is calmer THEN more organisms will be living in it

IF shrimp are living in warmer water THEN they will become red in color (otherwise they'll be clear)

IF there are more plants in the water THEN there will be more fish in the water as well

IF the tide pool is closer to the shore THEN the water will be cooler in temperature

IF the tide pool is closer to the ocean THEN there will be more diversity of species living in it

IF the water has a greater number of tadpoles THEN there will b an increase in other organisms

IF frogs and toads are nocturnal animals THEN I will find more frogs and toads during my night visits than my day visits

IF a tide pool is closer to the ocean THEN it will have a more similar salinity to the ocean

IF there are more insects in a marsh area THEN there will also be more birds in that same area

IF the water is deeper THEN there will be more crayfish living in it

IF a section of dirt is enclosed by a box THEN there will be more organisms living in that dirt

IF the water is colder THEN the stream current will be faster
