Comparison Of Iceberg Lettuce And Evergreen Long White Onion

Plants are multicellular, photosynthetic, and a part of the kingdom Plantae. People say that plants are more common than they are different. What happens when we put that to the test? We took one of Charles Darwin’s most famous investigations, Seeds at Sea and turned it into one of our own. We made a hypothesis, took observations, and made inferences. We picked two vegetables, Iceberg Lettuce and Evergreen Long White Onion, soaked them in water then planted them. We did this to see what would happen with water immersion on the seeds.
Purpose, a reason for something to be done, or in other words why you are doing the experiment in whole. As we said in the previous paragraph, we did our experiment because of Charles Darwin’s experiment. His reason

They can make or break your entire lab. It’s important to follow the steps of an experiment, especially if you're following someone else’s and doing the lab for yourself. We split our steps into two parts, one is the instructions for soaking, and the other is when you are plotting them. We started out with four, 50 ML beakers, and label the following: seawater-lettuce, tap water-lettuce, seawater onion, and tap water-onion. After you have all the four beakers labeled, you want to get all of your seeds ready to go, in total we used ten Iceberg Lettuce seeds, and ten Evergreen Long White Onion. Once you have all the seeds go ahead and get the water as well. Get the two beakers that are labeled with tap water, and fill them up to the 40 ML mark, room temperature. Do the same with the seawater beakers with room temperature seawater. After all the water is inside the beakers, take five of the Iceberg Lettuce seeds, and put them inside the tap water-lettuce beaker. Put the rest of the Iceberg Lettuce seeds inside of the seawater-lettuce beaker. Do the same with the Evergreen Long White Onion seeds. Once all the beakers have water, and seeds, place them all by a window and let them sit for 48 hours. Both days they were soaking in the water, it was cloudy, and rainy out. Subsequently, you let them sit, get four styrofoam cups and two spoons. Label them just like we did before, with seawater-lettuce, tap water-lettuce,

It can be the same or it could be totally different. So, when comparing data among a larger group doing the same experiment, everything can’t be the same. In graph A, and graph C it shows the class data altogether. While in graph B, it shows just our data that we got. As you can see the graphs are different because no data was the same. In graph C, we explained how only 60% of the Evergreen Long White Onion seeds that sat in seawater for two days sprouted. While only 20% of the Evergreen Long White Onion seeds that sat in seawater for six days grew. As you can see the result of the longer days had upon the plants all together. If we were to compare the Evergreen Long White Onion’s data for days, we would the impact it had on the plants. The seeds that sat in water longer weren’t as successful as they were in the two-day sitting water. After taking a closer look at the data brought in the class, we discovered many different reasons this could have happened. We came to think that the longer they sat in the water the more likely they were to obtain the water, and process it instead of sprouting. They might have taken the water in, and not let it go because of the sheer amounts they have received in the past couple of weeks. From being soaked in water, to getting it again twice a day. With our data, we thought that our plants and graph showed how well our plants did. In graph B, we showed how our plants took the time to develop and evolve into
