Our class has been studying plants. We have been doing experiments. We got two quads and put soil and seed in each hole. A quad is a box with four holes in it. We have a controlled quad and a manipulated quad. The controlled quad has everything, water, light, dirt, etc. But our manipulated quad, we have dying the water red before giving it to the plant. Our hypothesis was, “If we dye the water instead of giving the plant regular water than the plant will cease to grow and will become unhealthy because the water has chemicals in it.”  

    We have been dying the water strongly but we kept giving it the same amount of water, three drops. Over the week I noticed that our manipulated plant was turning red and brown. Then, one day one of the manipulated plants became crunchy and red, and it died! But our controlled plant was fine and now has flowers. Our manipulated plant was about 5 ½ cm and grew to 7 cm. But our controlled plant was 4 ½ cm and it grew to 10 ½ cm. Our manipulated plant is reddish greenish brownish and our controlled one is green and has yellow flowers.
