The Mystery of the Disappearing Brassicas: Applying the Scientific Method to Determine Why a Crop Failed

Evidence:

            Our plants didn't fully die. There was a lot of water when we were planting it. Our plant grew a little bit and its like one inch tall. There were also one or two bugs when we saw them. Our plants don't really get that much sunlight because there are other plants and those are growing much faster. Our plants probably died because of not getting that much sunlight, water and because there are bugs around the plants.

Hypothesis :      

                     Our plants most likely died because there were some bugs that were moving around in the soil.  Another possibility of our plants dying is the amount of water that was put.  There was a lot of water given to another plant and it might have traveled to our plant. The last possibility of our plants dying is because of it not receiving  that much sunlight. 

Experiment: 

                       For our experiment we are going to first grow three plants.  Then when they grow a little bit we are going to place them in the soil.  After that we place them in the soil we are going to give a ton of water to "plant a" and then a little bit of water to "plant b".  Then for "plant c" we are going to give it a normal amount of water.  We will check up on it for a couple of weeks and record our experiment.
