more on hypotheses

hypotheses help explain puzzling situations or events. hypotheses answer "how", "what, and "why" questions. explain each of the following situations with a hypothesis:

1. you hang a bird feeder, fill it with food, but no birds come to it.

hypothesis: birds have no interest in you food or you didn't put in any bird food and simply put human food. are either correct ?

2. in your new house, you see fewer stars from your bedroom window. you're looking at the same place in the sky.

hypothesis: the new house's location does not have enough sunshine, so not much stars compared to your old house. not sure about this hypothesis, does the sunshine affect the amount of stars ? please confirm or give me another hypothesis or correct that.

3. after you put a plastic food container in the dishwasher, its lid no longer fits correctly.

hypothesis: the dishwasher shrunk or messed up the plastic food container. correct or not ?

tank you very much tutors

1 and 3 look ok.

2. I don't think your answer will fly. I would go with perhaps there is a tree outside the window at the new location that is blocking parts of the sky/stars.

tank you very much drbob222 !

you plant a seed and water it every day but it does grow

1. The first hypothesis is that birds have no interest in the food or that the food you put in the feeder is not suitable for birds. To confirm this hypothesis, you could try changing the type of food in the feeder to see if it attracts any birds. Additionally, you could research what types of food specific bird species are attracted to and try using that in the feeder.

2. The second hypothesis is that the decrease in the number of stars visible from your new house is due to the location having less sunshine. To confirm this hypothesis, you could research whether sunshine affects the visibility of stars. Alternatively, you could consider other factors that might contribute to decreased star visibility, such as light pollution or atmospheric conditions.

3. The third hypothesis is that the dishwasher caused the plastic food container's lid to no longer fit correctly. To confirm this hypothesis, you could try washing the container by hand to see if the lid still fits properly. Alternatively, you could inspect the container and lid for any visible damage or warping that might have been caused by the dishwasher.
