Crystal Project: Hypothesis

By Janice VanCleave

A hypothesis is your best prediction about the answer to your science fair project question.halite1

The science fair project question is:
How does the type of dissolved salt effect the appearance of the evaporite crystals formed?

So, what do you think?

Will using different kinds of salt affect the physical appearance of the crystals formed?

Your guess about the answer to the science fair question is called your hypothesis, and it can be written like this:

HYPOTHESIS

Since crystals are made of chemicals, then using different kinds of salt (will or will not) result in evaporite crystals with different physical appearances.
