Hypothesis for experiment 2

Hypothesis
I believe that the second lot of samples which were taken whilst there was no rainfall. I predict that the turbidity, salinity of the water will be lower due to less run off and movement in the water.

Variables 
Independent Variable --> The weather which the samples were taken (After rain, no rain)
Dependent Variables-->

  • pH of soil
  • Moisture content of soil
  • presence of salt in the soil
  • Turbidity of the water
  • pH of the water
  • Presence of salt
  • Presence of Phosphates
  • amount of pollution in the ecosystem
Controlled Variable--> The controlled variable in this experiment is the areas in which the samples were taken. Each sample was taken from the exact same place to make sure results are accurate.
