Think about this...

Your uncle is trying to grow tomatoes and lettuce. He puts all the seeds in the same pot, puts the pot under the brightest lamp in the house, and waters them 3 times a day.

He is surprised to see that the tomato seeds sprout super fast, but the lettuce seeds don't sprout at all.

What do you think went wrong?

WHY was Design 2 the best?

Design an experiment to test what environmental is best for your plant

• Each group member grows plant under different conditions

• Example: Testing ground environment: Elijah grows in sand, Tavon in soil, Delron in water

• Design: what to test, how to grow, how to measure, how to track

• Today: Just focus on "Your Task" NOT "Reflect on Experiment" (we'll finish on Wednesday!)
