To hypothesize: The increased population density of a particular plant increases the rate at which a pathogenic
Introduction: “Population density” is the number of organisms inhabiting a particular area of land. An experiment should be carried out in a controlled environment where the test results won’t be impacted by external pressures. To carry out an experiment where the population density of the plant is detrimental to the result, various steps can be taken such as confining the plants in a specific area and so on.

. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You are testing the hypothesis thatincreased population density of a particular plant speciesincreases the rate at which a pathogenic fungus infectsthe plant. Because the fungus causes visible scars on theleaves, you can easily determine whether a plant is infected.Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe yourexperimental and control groups, how you would collect data,and what results you would see if your hypothesis is correct.
Design a simple experiment testing for the effect of cold temperature on poppy seed germination. Explain how you would set the experiment up and which data you would collect How would results look like if the population is cold-tolerant (include a graph in your answer)?
Design your own concept of bioremediation. Think of plant species in your locality that can fit as bio remediators
