Crop Failure Experiment Analysis

Our hypothesis is that a bird sized animal attacked our plant which caused it to die. This was our hypothesis because when we analyzed our crop after it had been eaten, the marks on our Kale plant were teeth marks that a worm couldn't make. 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. The controlled variable in this experiment was the soil. For our experiment we decided to put a chicken in a triangle structure under our plant. When we began the chicken was vigorously digging at the dirt and pecking the plant. Then he began to digging deep holes in the dirt, until eventually there was no plant left because he ate it all. From beginning to start it took the chicken 10 minutes to dig around the plant and devour it all. In conclusion, this shows that the chicken caused our kale plant to die.
