Our working hypothesis for our experiment was that the plants that received the lighter rain would grow higher than those that were given the heavier rainfall.  Our prediction was that the plants that received the heavy rainfall would end up getting so soaked and flooded with water that they would not grow as tall and as well as the plants that were given the lighter rainfall.  The plants that received the lighter rainfall would grow taller because they would not be as flooded with water and not be pounded down by the pressure of the water as the plants that received would, allowing the plants receiving the lighter rain to grow taller than the ones that received the heavier rainfall.

Figure 1: This graph represents how the pressure of rain affects the height growth of  plants. The plants with light rain have grown more (5 cm) than the plants that have been watered with heavy rain (4 cm). This is indicated because the error bars do not overlap.

Flowers!

Henry VIII and Lester have both flowered today!



Also note that our plants are not as tall as the other experiments. Maybe because we are growing them under stressful conditions?

AND WE PLANTED TODAY FINALLY

Blog 7 What we will measure

We have six pots that will hold plants that are watered fast and heavy and 6 that will be watered slow and steady.  We are going to see how they affect the way they grow. When our fast plants start growing, we are going to  measure the height of each plant in centimeters with a ruler. For each pace we will see what the most average heights and how they grow are for the group of plants.  Also we are going measure how many of flowers and leaves grow on the differently watered plants to see if the pace of water affects how the plants grow in all different ways not just their height!

SCHEDULE

Plants are to be watered at some point between 11am and 1pm everyday.  Here is who will water it each day!
