: A '''[[prediction''' ]] can be made before an [[experiment ]] using your understanding. If you compared how far a ball rolls on a sticky floor and a smooth floor you could make a '''[[prediction''' ]] before you did the experiment and say; The ball will roll further on the smooth floor than the sticky floor because things get stuck on sticky floors.: A '''prediction''' can be made using the [[results ]] of your own [[experiment]]. If you find most people in your class have brown eyes you might '''predict''' most people in another class will also have brown eyes because brown eyes is the most common colour.: Your '''[[prediction''' ]] may be wrong, and that's ok. Science is most interesting when unusual things happen and our predictions [[prediction]]s are wrong because then we can learn new things about the world. ==Key Stage 3=====Meaning===A [[prediction]] is when the [[results]] of an [[experiment]] or [[investigation]] are suggested before it has taken place based on the [[results]] of other [[experiment]]s or [[investigation]]s. ===About Predictions===: A [[prediction]] should be based on scientific ideas and not just a guess.: The [[results]] of one [[experiment]] can be used to '''predict''' the [[results]] of another [[experiment]].: A [[hypothesis]] often provides a [[prediction]] for an [[experiment]] as [[experiment]]s are usually designed to prove a [[hypothesis]] to be incorrect if possible.
