| Explore | I know that plants are a big source for all living things, we really wouldn't be able to survive without them. They give us oxygen, keep carbon dioxide and provide us with many useful materials. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | Would the seeds mass come from the sun ? Is there something else the mass can come from ? |
| Predictions | For the hypothesis we thought that dish 1 would be the greatest because everything needed is provided then we think that dish 2 will be not so good because it's missing sunlight |
| Experimental Design | 1- gather materials 2 - put 3 paper towels/petri dishes 3 - place 1 g of radish seeds into each dish 4 - place dish 1 next to window w/ water 5 - place dish 2 in the dark w/water 6 - place dish 3 next to window without water 7- leave dishes placed there for 1-2 weeks 8 - place dishes in drying oven to remove water 9 - weigh the mass of the dry seeds 10 - write results on table 11 - make a bar graph w data |
| Conclusion | On the experiment we want to really see what plant would have a bigger mass and how much it would grow |
