E N D
Hypothesis • Atypical watering conditions, similar to real life drought conditions, will have a negative effect on the length of the stems.
Measuring • Measuring stick was used to measure length • Measuring was done once a week • Stem length was measured
Results • The arabidopsis plants were not negatively affected by the drought conditions • The arabidopsis plants thrived in less water conditions
Interpretation • Arabdopsis can survive in diverse water conditions
Comparing Results • The results of this experiment do not support the original hypothesis • Atypical watering conditions, similar to real life drought conditions, will have a negative effect on the length of the stems.
Modifications • The experiment should be carried out for longer than two weeks • Drought plants should be planted in less saturated soil • String method should be employed to measure the length of irregular shaped stems • Have a standard watering measurement for drought and water plants
