The Research
Question
|
Science Fair Topic - Hypothesis Your science fair
topic is your "Hypothesis".
This means that you want to see something happen in this procedure.
If you statement is “What happens to teeth when exposes to
colored soda, tea and coffee?”
Your hypothesis could be “the darker the drink the quicker teeth
will be darkened and absorb that color”.
You will want to correctly structure
your hypothesis. An example
would be saying that drinking green tea is better for your teeth.
This cannot be measured but state that the darker the drink is so
that you cannot see light though it makes the teeth stain quicker after
drinking that substance. "Better" cannot be measured.
You need a hypothesis that can be
proved in a measurable way. For example, "more water will make the grass
germinate quicker."
It is not a problem
is your science project does not prove your hypothesis.
There is a chance that something could happen during your
experiment to change the results of your project.
It is not the end but something you discovered that affected the
results of your experiment and shows that it is not always the exact
results. Always do research
before you decide on your hypothesis.
Get information from your teacher, parents, newspaper, magazines,
etc. You could call a lab
and ask to speak to a scientist and see if they can give you any good
insight.
