Problem & Hypothesis Problem & Hypothesis
Problem: Problem: Which type of cover allows Which type of cover allows spinach to grow best?spinach to grow best?
Hypothesis:Hypothesis: If you cover the spinach with If you cover the spinach with cloth then, the cloth will allow the spinach cloth then, the cloth will allow the spinach to have a better growth rate.to have a better growth rate.
Spinach GrowthSpinach Growth
The data shows that the spinach under The data shows that the spinach under cloth started off growing faster. On the cloth started off growing faster. On the fourth week the spinach under the plastic fourth week the spinach under the plastic covering grew better and longer then the covering grew better and longer then the spinach under the cloth covering. After the spinach under the cloth covering. After the final measurement the spinach under the final measurement the spinach under the plastic covering had a higher growth plastic covering had a higher growth average. average.
Analysis and conclusionAnalysis and conclusion
The plastic covered plants averaged at The plastic covered plants averaged at 3.91 cm.3.91 cm.
The cloth covered plants averaged at 3.64 The cloth covered plants averaged at 3.64 cm.cm.
We conclude that the plastic covered We conclude that the plastic covered plants grew larger than the cloth covered plants grew larger than the cloth covered plants by an almost negligible amount.plants by an almost negligible amount.
Ideas for future experimentsIdeas for future experiments
The growing period should be longerThe growing period should be longer
Maybe two months would help the results Maybe two months would help the results be more obvious/distinguished. be more obvious/distinguished.
There should have been a regulated There should have been a regulated amount of water that each group of plants amount of water that each group of plants so that there was nothing except the so that there was nothing except the covering that could have affected growthcovering that could have affected growth
