hypothesis help

[ac0]

Hello,
So I'm doing a science experiment basically like the electrolyte challenge were my independent variable is the different types of drinks and the dependent variable is the conductivity reading, and I feel like my hypothesis just doesn't feel right. It's "The higher conductivity of a drink, the greater the electrolytes the drink contains". I feel like the hypothesis is lacking something or just doesn't fit the experiment and could really appreciate some advice/feedback to how to improve it or if its totally wrong.

Hi AC0,

First, it is great that you are questioning whether the hypothesis in the project description makes sense!

So, here's a discussion about writing appropriate hypotheses. Perhaps reading through this will help you write a more appropriate hypothesis (or two!) for how conductivity relates to the amount of electrolytes ...

Let us know what you come up with!

Good luck,
