Can red cabbage juice be used as a pH indicator? Create an if-then hypothesis. Then create your experiment.

You should now have a firm grasp on creating hypotheses. The question for your project is "Can red cabbage juice be used as a pH indicator?" Create an if-then hypothesis which can be used to help answer this question. Hint: Focus on what makes something a pH indicator. Recall that your hypothesis should state what you are doing in the lab, and then what you think will happen in the lab. Format: If ...(what you are going to do/change in the lab), then...(what you think will happen) (independent variable) (dependent variable) Bad Hypothesis Example: If red cabbage juice can be used as a pH indicator, then it can measure the pH of substances. Bad Example Explained: in the above bad example we see that the student tried to answer the question, but we still have no idea what they are testing or doing in the lab. Don't focus so much on answering the question, but rather making a valid hypothesis which addresses the question.
