| Explore | We've discovered that plants grow best in sunlight and in moist soil but don't do well in dry climates. How are different plants affected by their environment? |

| Research Question | How will the amount of water affect the plants' growth rate? we came up with this question because the element we're controlling is water so we thought we would do a question related to that. Also, we've been studying plants' growth rates so we thought it would be a fitting question. |
| Predictions | I think that the drowning plant won't grow much, the perfect plant will probably grow to a spout, and the dehydrated or dry plant will grow a bit more than the drowning plant. We think this will happen because obviously, the perfect plant will grow more than the other two. |
| Experimental Design | We are each planting three seeds in 10 inches of soil in different cups. One of them we are drowning, so we are giving the plant an inch of water a day. Another one we are dehydrating and we're giving it an inch of water every two weeks. Lastly, we're growing a perfect one so we are going to water it once a week. |
