Here's why:
* Designing an experiment involves planning how you will test your hypothesis. You need to define the variables, control groups, sample sizes, and procedures to ensure you get reliable data.
* Developing a hypothesis is the crucial step where you propose an explanation for a phenomenon. This explanation must be testable, meaning it can be supported or refuted through an experiment.
In essence, the hypothesis guides the design of the experiment. You design an experiment to gather evidence that will either support or contradict your proposed explanation (the hypothesis).
