Investigate the impact of environmental factors on plant growth. Design and conduct an experiment to
assess how varying light conditions affect the growth of a specific plant species. Present your findings,
analyze the results, and draw conclusions.
Title: Investigating the Impact of Light Conditions on the Growth of [Plant Species]
Introduction:
Provide background information on the importance of light in photosynthesis and plant growth.
State the objective of the experiment: to assess how varying light conditions affect the growth of
[specified plant species].
Experimental Design:
Variables:
Independent Variable: Light conditions (e.g., full sunlight, partial shade, complete darkness).
Dependent Variable: Plant growth (measured in height, number of leaves, or other relevant metrics).
Materials and Methods:
List all materials needed (e.g., pots, soil, seeds, light sources).
Describe the setup of the experiment, including the number of replicates for each light condition.
Detail the duration of the experiment and any other relevant factors (watering, temperature, etc.).
Data Collection:
Regularly measure and record plant growth parameters (e.g., height, number of leaves) for each
replicate in every light condition.
Ensure consistency in data collection methods and timing.
Presentation of Findings:
Create tables and graphs to visually represent the data.
Include a clear title, labels, and units for each axis.
Present findings for each light condition over time.
Analysis of Results:
Compare the growth patterns of plants under different light conditions.
Identify any trends or significant differences in growth metrics.
Use statistical analysis if applicable to support your conclusions.
Discussion:
Interpret the results in the context of plant biology and photosynthesis.
Discuss any unexpected findings and potential sources of error.
Compare your results with existing literature on similar experiments.
Conclusion:
Summarize key findings.
Emphasize the impact of varying light conditions on the growth of the specified plant species.
Suggest potential applications or further research avenues.
References:
Cite any sources or literature that informed your experimental design and discussion.
Remember, this is a generic outline, and you may need to tailor it based on the specific requirements of
your assignment or the plant species you are investigating.

Writing Prompt / Indicación de Escritura: A group of students wanted to test how
the amount of water a plant receives affects its growth. To test this, students
placed three identical plants in identical pots using the same soil. Each plant
received a different amount of water each day, and plant growth was measured
at the end of each week. Write a PROCEDURE the students can follow to conduct
this experiment. *
