Free Journal Our last trip to the stream had been quite short, since we couldn't really get to the other side of the stream. When we arrived, the plants had grown exponentially again, but this time they had not grown as much, even though it had been raining a lot over the week. The other side had looked as if it had grown a little bit, but it still seemed to me that the plants on the side of the stream connected to the park grew more than the plants on the side across from the park. This was the only thing that we were able to observe, as other experiments were taking up space in the stream that prevented us from seeing parts of the stream that were accessible to us. The hypothesis that I tested was " If plants of the same species were to be observed on different sides of the stream, then the plant growing on the side of Manoa Park would grow more because they have more access to sunlight through the course of the day." The plants I tested can be seen in the link below. When I took the first measurements, the plants on the side of the stream connected to the park were 4 feet tall. The other side was not accessible, but the plants looked as if they were about 2 1/2 feet tall. I marked one of the plants so that I would be able to quickly recognize the plant that I used for my hypothesis. My procedure was to simply find the species of plant that I wanted to test, measure them, then measure them again a week later to see how much they would grow on each side in a week's time. When I went back to find out how much the plants had grown, the other side was a little more accessible, but I had to step in the water to cross to the other side. When I reached the other side, I found out that the plant over there was 2 feet 6 1/4 inches tall, so if the plant was 2 ft 6 in, then the plant had grown 1/4 of an inch over the course of a week. When i went back to the other side of the stream, I measured the plant on the side of the park, and found out that the height of the plant was 4 feet 1 in. This meant that over the course of one week, the plant had grown 1 inch. This was four times the amount that the plant on the other side of the stream had grown, which meant that the plants on the side of the stream grow significantly larger than their similar species on the other side of the stream each week.
