| Explore | We know that plants are living organisms that are made up of cells and absorb water and sunlight to grow. We are interested in how plants adapt to surroundings and weather. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | We want to test how fast plants will grow under different circumstances. This question fits because we know that plants grow from water and sunlight but what if some plants were over-watered or not watered enough? |
| Predictions | We think that plants that dont get enough water and sunlight will grow slower or even die and plants that are over-watered and have sunlight will drown and plants that have just the right amount of water and sunlight will grow normally. |
| Experimental Design | Have 3 plants, 1 that is overwatered and has sunlight, another with little to no water and doesn't have much access to sunlight, and have 1 that has just the right amount of water and sunlight. Record the plants over a week and see which plant grows the most. |
| Conclusion | If it is overwatered and has sunlight it will die from too much water, if it doesn't have enough water and has sunlight it won't grow as much because of the lack of water and if it has just the right amount of water and sunlight then it will grow normally. |
