Reflection 1
My experiment is going quiet web. Most of my trails were successful because they followed my hypothesis, that is the farther the sunflower seed from the sweet potatoe the faster it will sprout and grow. This supports my experiment because it obviously proves my hypothesis is correct. Some of my failures where the pots that only grew one plant, and that plant was small and unhealthy in other words very weak. This could make a difference in my experimental design because it means that something went wrong with those pots; those trails had a problem. It could also change my experimental design because many of the pots that got sprouted with these thin, weak, small, and solitary plants were close, in between and far from the sweet potatoes that I have planted. This changes my experimental design because each pot was watered with the same amount of water, soil from the same part of my garden was used to put the seeds with the sweet potatoes, and each pot received the same amount of sunlight daily.
Reflection 2
I have finished doing my experiment on the affect of sweet potatoes on sunflower seeds. My experiment fallowed my hypothesis as I stated on the first reflection. By finishing this experiment I proved that it did fallow my hypothesis on the fallowing ways: first of all because the sunflower seeds that were placed farther away from the sweet potatoe not only sprouted first, but also grew faster and bigger than those sunflower seeds that were planted very close to the sweet potatoe. Not all the trails including one out of the four controls went properly. They did not go properly because of special variables that affected their growth and health. Some of the variables that affected the growth and health of these plants were that: one they were placed farther away from an open window that let more carbon dioxide enter and two that at about 2:00 P.M. the sun got very intense on those same pots and dried up all the water that was poured into them; causing the plants to gradually dry up. Some of the steps and procedures I could have done better for this experiment were to make sure that all the plants received the same amount of carbon dioxide and sun light the whole day. With the exception of those plants with the special variables that had an effect on them, my experiment came out exactly as I have planned it to go since the beginning. My experiment came out as I planned it to go because it followed my hypothesis and the plants away from the sweet potatoes grew about the same size as the three out of four controls that I made that came out with positive results. Finally, reflecting my entire experiment from a questionable beginning to a great accomplishing end, I have really enjoyed and had a great time doing this experiment.
