| Explore | We already know that soaking celery in water will make it bend because some cells absorb more water than others. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | what is the ideal time for celery to be submerged in tap water for it to be the curliest? |
| Predictions | We think that the longer the celery soaks, the curlier it will be. |
| Experimental Design | The experiment will be four six inch pieces of celery in separate bowls of tap water. One stalk will be removed after 12 hours, one after 24 hours, another one after 36 hours, and the last one will be removed after 48 hours. |
| Conclusion | We can claim that celery gets curlier over longer times of it being in water. We can claim this because we ran the lab and the celery that was in the water longer became curlier. We could put celery in colder and warmer temperatures and see if he different temperatures can affect our lab or we can even use different sizes of celery. |
