Plant Survival

Initial question (Why are we doing this experiment?):
So we can learn about how plants live. And how they survive depending on how they are treated.

Hypothesis (What do we think will happen):
What the class thought would happen was, that the plant that was cut would last longer than the one we didn’t mess with.

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.
First we went out to the garden and cut 4 plants that were about 10in tall then brought them inside and put them in a vase and added 200mill of water to each one then we observed the condition, color, odor, and texture of the control, and variable and how much water they drank for 4 days. Then we would write down all of the results on our data sheet.

Observations we made:
1. Explain what your data graphs show.
It shows that the plant that was cut stayed healthier longer. It drank more because when we cut the stem it drained all the water out of the stem so when we put more water in the jar then the plant sucked up more water. On the first day the plants were unhealthy , a dark red with green and brown. They stayed about the same throughout the whole experiment.
2. Explain what you observed each day including both control and variable.
The variable stayed healthy and drank the most water the control started to dry out and didn’t drink as much water.


Conclusion:
1. Did the experiment support the hypothesis?
Yes, the hypothesis was true, is that the variable was going to drink
more water than the control.
The variable drank about 10 mill more than the control. In the end the
control was 35.5 and the variable was 49.5.


2. Were the results consistent with other experiments?
Yes, in all the other groups the results were the same.
The variable stayed healthier than the control did, and it drank more water.
