HEY!! ok so i had the old experiment, but i wrote that before i realized that we could work in groups so im working with maddie and destinie, and we decided to use the plan that destinie had already come up with. you can find a copy of this experiment in the biology book that mr happer gave us on page 640. :)

CAN A PLANT FIND ITS WAY THROUGH A MAZE??!!

GOAL! Our goal is to see how light affects how a plant grows, and does the amount of light affect how fast it grows.

HYPOTHESIS: My hypothesis is that the one with the most light shining through is the plant that will grow the most, and the one with the least amount of light will grow the slowest. I will do the box that has the most light, destinie does the box with the medium amount of light, and maddie does the box with the least amount of light.

INDEPENDENT, CONSTANT, AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES: the light is the independent variable the plant is the dependent variable constant variables are the amount of time left in the light, the distance away from the light, the amount of water used on each individual plant, the amount of light, and the amount soil.

Materials:
 * 1) Petri dishes (3)
 * 2) Bean seeds (12)
 * 3) Water
 * 4) Cardboard boxes (4)
 * 5) Tape
 * 6) Lights (3)

Measurements: Distance from box to light: 10 centimeters Circumference of Hole(s) in boxes: Biggest: 6.2 cm Medium: 4.3 cm Smallest: 3 cm

PROCEDURE: 1. make a maze using the cardboard box by taping the dividers upright. cut a hole in the side of the box where the maze ends. repeat this 3 different times. 2. plant 4 bean seed in each pot. 3. place the flower pot(s) in the beginning of the maze. close the box so that the only light in the box that comes from the whole you cut 4. over the next 2 weeks open the box every two to three days to water and observe the seedlings. record your observations each time.
