| Explore | Some of the things we know about plants are that not all plants are the same some plants require more sunlight or water then others. Also some plants take more time to grow it may also need a good environment to grow. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | Does the area or environment a seed is kept in affect the growth and change? |
| Predictions | Our group decided that the one that is given more light and water is going to weigh more since it's gonna be the biggest one and the heaviest. |
| Experimental Design | 1.Get materials 2. Place paper towels into 3. different petri dishes 4.In 1 dish,water will be added, & will have light by a window 5. Dish 2: add water and place in dark space 6. Dish 3: no water placed by a window 7. Wait 1- weeks 8. Place seeds into drying oven, remove excess water 9. Weigh mass of dried seeds & seedings 10. Record info into data table 11. Create graph explaining results. |
| Conclusion | The seeds need water to grow. The possible explanation for our results are that seeds have certain amoount of water. The data supports our claim because the seedds that had no water didnt change as much. A expirement that can be done to expand the results could be just to put the plant outside and cover it from the light. |
