Last month, our science fair project investigated how different amounts of light affected the growth of bean plants. My partner and I measured the height of each plant every other day and kept careful notes in a shared log. We watered them the same amount to keep the test fair. On the second day, a cold snap forced us to move the trays away from the drafty window. Later, to compare results, I place the plants on the windowsill so they can get light. At the end of two weeks, we graphed the data and wrote our conclusions. The plants that received six hours of light grew the tallest, while those kept in the shade lagged behind. Our poster explained the method, results, and what we would test next.
