Hypothesis
 If Arabidopsis seeds are planted in
soil, the shoot will be longer than if
planted on agar plates.
Measurements
 We measured the shoot length of
each seed in millimeters that had
germinated after two weeks of
growth.

Summary of Results
 After measuring the shoot length of
the Arabidopsis seeds, we came to
the conclusion that they grow much
better in soil rather than agar.
Therefore, planting the seeds in soil
will be much more efficient.
Interpretation of Results
 For better results in future
experiments scientists should grow
Arabidopsis plants in soil rather than
agar.
Original Hypothesis and Results
 Our results supported our original
hypothesis that Arabidopsis plants do
grow better in soil rather than agar.
Modifications
 We were not able to measure the
shoot length of the plants after the
first week due to shoot lengths being
pressed into the agar therefore,
immeasurable.
