The hypothesis was that the plants would grow the quickest and tallest in direct light. Then the Partial would have the second tallest with the least growth being the indirect light. However the plants in the indirect light grew quickest in the beginning of the experiment as they were searching for the light. The direct and partial light did not seem very different until the middle of the experiment when the plants in the partial light began to grow very rapidly. The plants in direct light growth began to accelerate and grew taller than the indirect light. Then instead of growing straight toward light as we predicted the plants began to twist and fall on top of each other. Here is a video that shows the steps of the experiment and the results received.

  1. Good information here.

    Try to be more specific with your group names. Use logical names for each group that anyone can understand.

    Reread your work before posting: "... grow the grow the ..."

    Keep conclusions entirely separate from hypothesis, because it is a totally different part of the scientific process.

    When the time does come to draw conclusions, always make use of data to support your ideas.
