Experiment

For our experiment we plan on replanting Brassica seeds, and waiting until they grow. Once they are grown we plan on a putting a chicken in a pyramid shaped box with the plant an observing its behavior around it, and recording the data. We plan observing how many times the chicken pecks at it, dividing the the box into quadrants and seeing how much time he spends in them, and seeing if the chicken moves any of the mulch. We will check up on it in a couple of weeks when have completed our experiment and have recorded data. 

Hypothesis

HYPOTHESIS!

My hypothesis is that a bird sized animal attacked our plant which caused it to die. The independent variable is the bird sized animal because it caused the potential death of the plant. The dependent variable is the dead plant because it was the resulting condition of an object.

EVIDENCE!!!!!!!!

PICTURE A:

The top photo represents the remains of our plants, and the bottom photo is the mulch which was once on top. It had to have been moved by an animal of at least the size of a large bird.

 PICTURE B:

The chicken represents a bird size animal which could potentially have moved our mulch and destroyed our plant.

PICTURE C:

The mallow was a plant that was competing with the kale plant for the soil, and it came up once our kale plant was officially dead.
