Part 1:
You need to include a
• Title: Lab- Interdependence of Organisms
• Purpose: Measure the effect the worms have on plant growth in the population
• Question: Will adding worms to the soil affect the growth of plants?
• Hypothesis: If plants grow in soil containing worms, then the plant growth will be greater because worms help decompose organic matter and distribute it through the soil in a form that plants can use.
• Variables:
Independent- number of worms
Dependent- plant growth
Constant- the type of plant, amount of sunlight, etc.
Control-
Part 2: Materials and Procedure
Supplies- two trays, lima bean seeds, worms, location with sunlight, black marker, meter stick, graduated cylinder, water
Procedure
1. label trays for each group, control and experimental group
2. fill each tray with 6 to 7 cm of soil
3. add six lima bean seeds to each of the trays and label them 1-6
4. add 50 mL of water to each tray evenly
5. leave them in sunlight for a week
6. Measure each of the sprouts in each tray
7. Record data and average the heights for each group, control and experimental, as well as find the difference
8. add worms to the experimental group
9. after three weeks measure each of the plants, record the data, average the height, and record the difference
10. after five weeks measure each of the plants, record the data, average the height, and record the difference
Part 3: Data
Week 1:
Control
10, 9, 8, 9, 10, 8 avg. 9
Experimental
8, 9, 8, 8, 8, 7 avg. 8
Week 3:
Control
22, 23, 21, 22, 22, 23 avg. 22
Experimental
24, 28, 26, 25, 27, 26 avg. 26
Week 5:
Control
49, 47, 49, 50, 47, 52 avg. 49
Experimental
50, 60, 49, 53, 58, 60 avg. 55
Part 4: Analysis and Conclusion
Analysis: discuss the relationship between the independent independent variable, explain trends in the data, describe data points to explain the experiment outcome, interpret statistics, and interpret graphs
Conclusion: determine whether the hypothesis was supported, restate the hypothesis, state whether it is correct or incorrect, and explain.
