Question

I am doing an ecology research paper on Brown Anole Lizard Distribution, 

to perform my experiment I will choose 4 spots in a park such as a lake, a shaded tree, a boardwalk, and a sidewalk. then to quantify my results I will go three times a day for five weeks and count how many lizards I see in each area. 

I need help thinking of a testable hypothesis?

 This is often similar to your research question, however,  it can be answered with the numbers you will collect. 

For example, a research question could be:  Which is better, a park or a nature preserve?

A testable hypothesis would be:  Do parks or preserves have higher bird populations?
