| Explore | My team and I don't know anything about mustard seeds outside of school except the fact that they make mustard because they don't grow in our area. We have discovered that Mustard seed grow in dark and cool areas. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | We wanted to test light on the mustard seed. We came up with questions by observing the plants. It fits because we know plants need light to do photosynthesis. |
| Predictions | If we test how much sunlight each of our mustard plants will receive full sun, partial sun, no sun, the the plant in full sun will grow the tallest(mm.) |
| Experimental Design | Our plan is to cut 3 two liters in half. Next, we would put dirt in the top and water in the bottom. The variables we will test is one plant in full sun one if partial sun and one in no sun at all. We will measure and observe the germinated seeds. The variables we will keep constant is the amount of dirt and water. We will record our data by putting it all in a chart. |
| Conclusion | The claim that we had was that we learned how mustard seeds grew. The hypothesis '' If 10 mustard seeds are planted in three different soda bottles with different amounts of sun will grow the tallest", was supported in the experiment. Evidence showed that plants a (full sunlight) grew the tallest . In a future experiment the mustard seed soda bottle can have more water than before. |
