Mitosis and Experimental Design
I. Problem/Question
The objective that we're trying to figure out is how will temperature affect the cell growth of a plant.
II. Hypothesis
I believe that if the plant is in more than ideal room temperature, and less than ideal room temperature it may affect the growth of the plant. If I'm correct I will see that the plant in more than ideal temperature will grow a little bit like maybe two inches then die. I also believe that if the temperature is less than ideal then it will freeze, die, and not grow. This will be measured by the growth of the plant.
During this experiment what I expect the outcome to be is that the one in ideal room temperature would have grown to its best by the increase of the plants height.

V. Experimental Procedure
- Gather 3 of the same plants make sure that all the plants are the same height.
- Have 3 rooms one in ideal room temperature one in less than ideal temperature and one in more than ideal temperature.
- Take note of the plants current height.
- Water the plants daily for 2 weeks
- At the end of the 2 weeks write the results of the plants height.
VI. Materials List
- Get three plants.
- Get water.
- Get 3 different rooms.
- Get paper.
- Get a pencil or pen.
- Get a clipboard.
- Get a thermometer and thermostat.
VII. Expected Results
What i expect to occur at the end of this experiment is that the one plant in ideal room temperature would have grown the most. With the one plant in more than ideal temperature would have grown a little bit and then it would've died from overheating. Then what I expect to see is that the plant in less than ideal temperature would have not grown at all and would have frozen.
