2. Wisconsin Fast Plant By: Abbey Ciancio, Lauren Boehmer, Kenny Rapko, Mike Schubert

3. Problem What will happen if we water the plant with coffee and not regular water.

4. Hypothesis If we use coffee then it will make the plant shorter but will still grow flowers and Seed Pods.

5. Variable We Tested We tested coffee because we thought it would be an interesting variable to change. Also because we knew that not another group in the past has tested it before.

6. Variable We Controlled Light, Space, Fertilizer, Pollination, and Temperature

7. Procedure We put our plants on bins with felt under them and in the bins we poured coffee

8. W FP Flowers This graph shows how many flowers our plants had at one observation.

9. WFP Seeds This graph shows how many seeds our plants had.

10. WFP Height This graph shows the difference in heights between experimental and control plants.

11. We thought that if we add coffee instead of water, then the plants will grow faster, taller, and die sooner then the control plants. We found out that the experimental plants had a total of 0 less leaves, 99 less seeds, 21 less flowers, 6 less seed pods, and grew an average of 7.2 inches smaller than the control. We think that because some other kids put food coloring in Laurens plants, Michaels plants were knocked over, and Abbeys plants were put of the watering system. Our plants were changed to some extent. In the future I would like to see what chemical in coffee studs growth. Conclusion

12. Fun Facts!!!!!!!!!!!! A plant pathologist at the University of Wisconsin spent an estimated 15 years to develop the Wisconsin Fast Plant. Through cross pollination, he was able to speed up the development process over ten times faster. it can go from seed to seed in less than six weeks. His plants: Are small and compact, grow well in crowded conditions, and, grow well under constant light. Produce a large number of pollen, eggs, and seeds.
