An amateur butterfly watcher wants to attract as many butterflies to their yard as possible. They have purchased butterfly nectar, sugar water, and honey water and want to see which one to use in their butterfly feeder. Create a testable hypothesis the butterfly watcher could use to decide which sweet substance to continue to buy. The statement "the butterfly nectar will attract the most butterflies" is an example of this concept.
