I am planning to do the "Make a Colorimeter to Measure the Concentration of Blue Dye in Various Liquids" as a science fair experiment.
My question is about forming a hypothesis for this experiment as I am having trouble formulating one for this experiment. I was thinking about framing it around the linear relationship between the absorbance of light and concentration of blue dye.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi rstudent,
This is a pretty detailed, and very interesting experiment. I think you will have fun with it.
If I was doing this experiment, I believe I would establish a hypothesis something like this, "The concentration of blue dye in a solution can be determined by the use of a colorimeter"
Then you would go about performing the prescribed procedure and prove that you can do this.
I hope this helps.
Good luck and...
Have fun with science!
