TALENT 21ACID RAIN EXPERIMENT

Your Name: Nicolette Hernandez

Group Members: Gabby Ade, Grant Myers,

and Dylan Horsey

Period: 4

ASK A QUESTION

During this lab we…(explain what your group did)

During this lab we added 20 ml of water each day for 2

weeks watching our plant, to see if it would grow.

What we wanted to find out…(what was the main

question for this lab?)

What we wanted to find out was would a sunflower seed

grow more and faster with acid rain, or regular water.

CON TROL VS. VARIABLE STATE YO UR HYPOTHESIS

In this slide you are to write whether your group

was a control group or an experimental group.

My group was Control.

State your hypothesis (I hypothesize…My

hypothesis…)

My hypothesis is I think that the growth of the

sunflower will grow rapidly with sunlight, water and

oxygen.

DATA INTERPRETATION

What happened during your experiment? • Think about: What could have affected your data (amount/type

of water, sunlight, seed, etc). • During our experiment the water had no chemicals and didn’t

affect the plants growth.

Explain your graph-Give a three to five sentence explanation

of your data.

My graph shows the difference between the plant with and

without water. My plant was measured in grams each day,

and 20 ml of water was added.

STATE YOUR CONCLUSION

My hypothesis that stated…was (correct/incorrect). Why do you think

this happened?

My hypothesis that stated I thought the sunflower seed would grow

rapidly with sunlight, water and oxygen was incorrect. I think it was

incorrect because water is normal, but acid rain is like a chemical

combined.

What was something you learned from this experiment?

Something I learned from this experiment was acid rain can have a

stronger impact than regular water, when it comes to growth.

How would you alter this experiment for future use?

In the future when planting sunflower seeds I can give it more

sunlight, I can also try with acid rain.
