Okay, I was not thinking. I correlate my hypothesis with the materials I will be testing with. My PROBLEM I will leave the same-Does an increase in water temperature affect the velocity of ocean currents? Or will I have to change this also?
New HYPOTHESIS? Increases in heat with relation to rising temperatures within the vegetable oil and thyme mixture will affect the velocity of the mixture's movement. Is this a hypothesis?
Yes, your new hypothesis is related to the effect of increasing heat on the velocity of the vegetable oil and thyme mixture's movement. It suggests that as the temperature of the mixture increases, the velocity of its movement will be affected.
However, it's important to note that your original problem statement was about the relationship between water temperature and the velocity of ocean currents. If you have switched your focus to studying the movement of a vegetable oil and thyme mixture, then you may need to change your problem statement as well. Your problem statement should align with the topic you are investigating, so it is best to make sure it accurately reflects the substance you are testing.
To determine the impact of increasing heat on the velocity of ocean currents, you would need to conduct a separate study specifically focused on that relationship.
