Plants respond to their environment in many different ways. Design an experiment to test the effects of one environmental factor, chosen from the list below, on plant growth.
Acidity of precipitation
Temperature
Amount of water
In your answer, be sure to:
• identify the environmental factor you chose
• state one hypothesis the experiment would test [1]
• state how the control group would be treated differently from the experimental group [1]
• state two factors that must be kept the same in both the experimental and control groups [1]
• identify the independent variable in the experiment [1]
• label the columns on the data table below for the collection of data in your experiment [1]
