Project Information
Many students think of the scientific method as a step-by-step process that all scientists follow in order. But real research is rarely so neat and tidy…it is really more of a research cycle or spiral because things you learn in one step can change your ideas about what you’ve already done or about next steps.
It is OK to change your thinking! We encourage you to go back and edit things you write in this section at any time as your ideas change. Just remember to explain your changes in your updates feed.

Explore | Plants need sunlight in order to go through photosynthesis. Without sunlight all plants would eventually die. |
Research Question | How temperature affects cellular respiration |
Predictions | the plant that is in the hottest temperature with release CO2 at a faster rate. |
Experimental Design | Using three plants, we'll put one in room temperature, one in a warmer environment, and one in a colder environment. We'll measure how much carbon dioxide by the color of the BTB in the tube. All of the tubes will be covered in foil. We will measure the color over 24 hours and another time over 72 hours. |
Conclusion | The warmer a plant is, the faster cellular respiration will occur. To expand this experiment, we could do different types plants instead of only one type. |
