Follow the instructions at the bottom of the Web page to choose a hypothesis and prediction about growing plants.
Click on Do The Experiment. The results of the experiment you chose will appear.
Post a 700-1,050-word paper in APA format that describes how you would conduct the experiment for your chosen hypothesis. You do not have to actually conduct the experiment in real life. You are doing a virtual experiment. As you write your paper, please include the following: an introduction—why did you chose this experiment and why is it important, a hypothesis statement, a description of the procedures, a description of the results, and a conclusion. After the conclusion, include a paragraph in which you give an example of a situation in life where you used the scientific method.
