A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

Science isn't about blind guesses. It starts with a puzzling observation, like a plant thriving in shade. This sparks a hypothesis – maybe a certain light level, for plants, is ideal. Scientists then experiment by manipulating a variable while keeping others constant. Careful observation and replication confirm their findings. A combination of observation, variable manipulation, hypothesis testing, and confirmation builds a reliable picture of the world, where explanations find equilibrium with what we see.
