How to write a hypothesis on testing glue/water and borax?
At this point, you aren’t looking for a hypothesis, you’re looking for a conclusion. What did the results turn up? What was different about the weights and other measurements on the three different recipes? How you should have done the hypothesis: Make a prediction about what you expect the results to be. It can be very simple: “I predict that adding more borax will let the glubber retain its shape better.” It can be very specific: “I predict that using 20% more glue will allow glubber to bounce 40% higher.” It doesn’t even need numbers: “I predict that using more water will turn the glubber blue.” The only constraint is that the hypothesis MUST be something you’re doing the experiment on – if you aren’t going to measure how fast it dissolves in milk, then don’t do that for a hypothesis. Tip: Do not, at this stage, make your hypothesis the same as your conclusion. That makes it very obvious that you did the hypothesis “after the fact”.
