| Explore | Plants are autotrophic which means they have complex cells. We have discovered though background information that not always everything reliable. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | Our experiment question is proving what seed from the experiment will gain more mass over the span of 2 weeks? |
| Predictions | Dish 2 will have the biggest change in mass and Dish 3 will have the smallest change in mass. |
| Experimental Design | Step 1: Gather materials & place 3 paper towels into 3 petri dishes Step 2:place 1g of radish seeds into each dish Step 3: dish 1 goes in sunlight and gets watered & dish 2 gets no sunlight and is watered Step 4: dish 3 goes in sunlight and doesn't get watered & wait 1-2 weeks & place seeds into drying oven & remove excess water Step 5: weigh mass of dried seeds & record data into a table Step 6: make a graph to explain results |
