Initial question (Why are we doing this experiment?):
Hypothesis (What do we think will happen): Trimming the bottom of cut plants will keep them fresher longer.
Experiment description (what we did): Be sure to explain the experiment in detail so that others could read what you wrote and repeat the experiment.
We took plants from Hope Street’s garden and we had one that we cut 1/4th inch off (variable) and one we left alone(control). Every day we had to refill the plants water to make sure it was at 200 mL. We made observations everyday in what our plants looked like and how much water they drank.
Data we gathered:
(charts and graphs)
SEE CHART ABOVE
Observations we made:
1. Explain what your data graphs show.
In our graph the blue is the control and the red is the variable. The variable started out not drinking much water and then it spiked to drinking a lot of water and pretty much leveled out drinking the same amount. The control started out drinking a lot of water and then it dropped to not drinking very much. It started to raised back up in drinking more water.
2. Explain what you observed each day including both control and variable.
Each day we observed that the plants kept getting worse in how they looked. They were starting to look better the first day, but then they started to look droopy as the days went by. It didn’t help cutting the 1/4th inch off everyday.
Conclusion:
1. Did the experiment support the hypothesis?
No, our plants ended up dying. Cutting the 1/4th inch off didn’t make a difference alls it did was cramp our plants in the beaker we had it in.
2. Were the results consistent with other experiments?
All of the experiments varied. Our plants died and several other plants died.
