| Explore | We know that there are many different trees and that they are essential to the world. There are also a lot of different abnormalities to them like splotches on leaves. It was interesting how we could use the diameter of our trees to find their benefits. We didn't know trees could save that much energy and even up the price on houses. We also learned that tree diameters are measured at breast height which is 4.5 ft high. Some possible research questions: Are certain trees more prone to certain biotic/abiotic? Do certain nutrients help trees more? |

| Research Question | Is tree diameter proportional to leaf size on lemon trees? |
| Predictions | We do not think that the tree diameter will be proportional to the leaf size because all trees are different and are exposed to differing environments. |
| Experimental Design | Our plan is to measure the diameter of three lemon trees and their leaves in order to determine of there is a correlation between the trees diameter and the leaf size. The variables that we are testing and measuring are the diameter of three trees and their leaf sizes. We will record our data by finding the diameter and leaf sizes and recording them in a table. |
