PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Scientific Question
If honey is applied to the water in which a flower is living, will the flower be affected?
Hypothesis
If Honey is applied to a flower’s water then it will stay fresh longer because it has some necessary sugar.
Variable
Dependent Variables: Height of Flowers, Petals Fallen, Smell of Flower, Color of stem.
Control (Left group)
This group had no honey in the water.
QUALITATIVE DATA DAY 1
These flowers were fresh and produced no smell. The stem color was all green.
Experimental (Right group)
This group had honey in the water.
QUALITATIVE DATA DAY 1
These flowers were fresh and produced no smell. The stem color was all green
Control (Left group)
This group had no honey in the water.
QUALITATIVE DATA DAY 4
These flowers were in mild health and produced a smell of fresh cut grass. The stem color still was mostly green but the shades of brown were darker.
Experimental (Right group)
This group had honey in the water.
QUALITATIVE DATA DAY 4
These flowers were in good health and produced a grass smell. The stem color was mostly green.
Control (Left group)
This group had no honey in the water.
QUALITATIVE DATA DAY 7
These flowers were in fair health and produced a strange smell. The stem color was green with brown mixed
Experimental (Right group)
This group had honey in the water.
QUALITATIVE DATA DAY 7
These flowers were not in fair health and produced a strong fresh cut grass smell. The stem color was dark brown and green
Analysis
In this experiment, the data was surprising. The experimental variable should have helped group A live longer, but helped minimally. I think what killed the flowers too fast was the amount of sunlight the flowers were exposed to.
Conclusion
If flowers are placed in honey water, then they will live longer. The conclusion of this experiment is that the hypothesis worked, but only minimally. Most of the data was the same or close to the same. At the end both flowers were close to dead. If the experiment was to be performed again, the flowers should be placed in less sunlight and have more honey. The extra honey would give the flower more sugar to live longer.
