Anything you can tell about what you are observing which you then take and make into a hypothesis
Before an experiment, an observation is often made in the form of a hypothesis. This is an educated prediction based on initial research and observation but is made before the actual experiment is conducted. ;
Before an experiment, scientists make observations that lead to a hypothesis, which is a testable prediction. These observations are based on prior research and can provide insight into what to expect in the experiment. For example, observing that higher temperatures increase reaction rates can lead to a hypothesis about reaction rates and temperature.
