It is based on the known research, the expected outcome, and how this outcome supports or refutes the hypothesis.The questions that are answered in the introduction include:• What is the purpose of this experiment?• Why is this experiment important? (Who cares about the results and why do/should they care about this topic?)• What information is known about the science involved in the experiment?• What new information will be learned from this experiment?• What are the expected results?• What is the hypothesis? (Written as an “if…then…because…” statement)You may be required to read some articles, a textbook, or other materials to learn about this scientif
