 Do Now: Define Hypothesis. Ans. A tentative explanation to a phenomenon or a possible solution of a problem.  Home work: Answer Questions 1 – 12 on page # 28

 Many plants can affect the growth of other plants near them. This can occur when one plant produces a chemical that affects another plant.  Design an experiment to determine if a solution containing ground-up goldenrod plants has an affect on the growth of radish seedlings.

 In your experimental design be sure to:  State a Hypothesis to be tested.  Radish seedlings grow faster when exposed to goldenrod solution.  Radish seedlings treated with the solution will not grow as tall as the control group.  The solution will not affect the height of radish seedlings.

 Describe how the experimental group will be treated differently from the control group.  The experimental group will be given the solution while the control group is given plain water.  The experimental group will have goldenrod plant in the soil.

 Explain why the number of seedlings used for the experiment should be large.  A large sample will increase the validity of the results.  Since some may die, there will be enough left to do the experiment.

 Name some of the constants of the experiment.  Sunlight  The amount of water  The amount of air  The amount of soil  Temperature

 Identify the type of data that will be collected based on the student’s hypothesis.  The number of the seedlings that survive in each group will be counted.  The height of the seedlings.  The distance between the plants.  The amount of the chemical released.

 Describe the experimental results that would support the student’s hypothesis.  Radish seedlings exposed to goldenrod solution were twice as tall as the control group in two weeks.  If the radish seedlings treated with the solution do not grow as tall as those in the control group, the hypothesis is supported.  If there is no difference between the height of the group treated with the solution as compared to the control group, the hypothesis will be supported.
