 From our results, we can conclude that our hypothesis is correct. As we predicted, the cauliflower survived, while in the pot containing the weeds, the cauliflower suffered. We analyzed and watered each plant (with the same amount of water) over the course of two weeks. 

We can conclude that our original Cauliflower plants did die from competition with the surrounding weeds.

Evidence

Evidence

The soil where we placed our plant is covered
with grass and weeds.

The place holder is the only part left of where our plant should be. 
There are no visible remains of our plant,
the soil is occupied.
The flag is a memorial of sorts, dedicated to what our plant could've been.

Hypothesis

Problem Question: Why did our group's plant die?
The area where our plant should be is covered with grass and weeds, therefore we hypothesize that the water and nutrients that our plant needed to survive were consumed by weeds and other plants around it. Dependent variable: The lack of growth of our plant. Independent variable: What prevented the plants growth.

About Seed Germination Lab


My group and I are finding out whether or not salt effects the growth of plants. We are currently experimenting on cauliflower, and we have taken forty seeds. 
We split the forty into four groups and watered each group with a specific mixture of salt(NaCl) and water(H2O)

-H2O(control)
-1% salt water
-4% salt water
-8% salt water

Intro

Hello,my name is William Torres, I am a Colorado Native, and I moved to San Jose in August,2014.I don't have much of a green thumb,however,my mother enjoys gardening and I will accompany her whenever she does. In my team for the "The Story of the Seed" project, my seeds are watered with 1% saline water. -William Torres

INTRO

Hello my name is Jack Carlson. I was born and raised in California i'm fourteen years old. I am in charge of the 8% salinity in our project "Story of the Seed."

4%bio6


For the past few days we have been growing seeds in paper a towel with water, 1%, 4%, and 8% salt water. Within these days my seeds did not grow until the third day, now i have four starting to sprout.  

8% NaCl

For the past few days we have observed seeds we planted in paper towels with different levels of salt 1%  4%  8% and no salt. So far the 8% has not seen any huge change in growth, however one seed is starting to sprout.
