RADISH SEED LIGHT VS RADISH SEED DARK By: Robert Hinsberger, Drake Heisterkamp, Billy Sink, And Calvin Sopocy

Testable Question Will a radish seed grow better in the dark or the light

Our Hypothesis � A radish seed will grow better in the dark Light OR Dark

The Variables in our experiment � Manipulated Variable: amount of sunlight per radish seed � Responding Variable: Growth of radish seeds � Controlled Variable: Amount of water, same soil, and heat

Our experimental design � One seed with light all the time , another seed in the dark cabinet all the time. They both have soil from the same bag and brand. Both have 60 m. L of water each day unless were gone for like a three day weekend. Both have the same size pot

Claim and Evidence We claim that the radish in the light grew better than the one in the dark cabinet. Even though the one in the dark grew taller it still died.

Communicating with our Mentor Communicating with our mentor was good until October 25 when she completely stopped replying to our super awesome posts (we are heartbroken. ) It is now November 16 and she hasn’t replied in 21 DAYS!!!!

How are ideas changed � Our ideas did change because we thought the one in the dark would grow better but the one in the light did. The one in the light had a stronger stem plus its leaves were broader and healthier. The one in the dark suffered its whole life.
