Senior Cycle Biology - Guide to writing the perfect hypothesis
Perfect for: Senior Cycle Biology • AAC Projects • TY Investigations • Junior Cycle Skills Revision
Students always struggle with hypotheses — over 90% of teachers said so.
This instant-download Hypothesis Masterpack fixes that problem completely.
Designed for the new Senior Cycle Biology course, this 5-page pack is the only resource that breaks hypotheses down into:
Inside the Masterpack:
The Golden Hypothesis Formula
A simple, reusable structure showing students precisely how to link:
Independent Variable → Dependent Variable → Biological Mechanism
Good vs Bad Hypotheses Across 12 LC Biology Topics
Includes photosynthesis, enzymes, respiration, osmosis, genetics, ecology, biodiversity, microbiology, pollution, tropisms, homeostasis, and AAC research.
Each topic includes:
Bad hypothesis (what students usually write)
Good hypothesis (correct scientific structure)
Mechanism note (so teachers can explain why it’s correct)
Student Templates
Filled-in, scaffolded, and blank versions — perfect for weak, average, and strong students.
Correction Guide for Teachers
Instant feedback phrases for copies, tests, and AAC drafts (aim vs prediction vs hypothesis, missing mechanism, vague wording, etc.)
Mini Assessment Quiz (10 Questions)
A ready-to-use class task, homework or substitute lesson — students write 10 hypotheses across the course.
AAC-Ready Hypothesis Bank
High-quality sample hypotheses suitable for Biology in Practice (microplastics, heavy metals, light spectrum, invasive species, plant growth, etc.).
Why teachers love it
Removes the confusion between aim, prediction and hypothesis.
Gives a repeatable structure students can use in every investigation.
Works for Senior Cycle, Junior Cycle, and TY projects.
Perfect for exam readiness, AAC, and classroom modelling.
