In conclusion, the data rejected the hypothesis that states if plants are grown in various solutes, including distilled water, acetone, aspirin, and chlorine, then the chlorine solution will have the fastest growing plants. According to the chi square, there was no significant difference between how long it took for the plants to grow in the different solutions. This was because the chi square value was .3 which is less than the critical value which is 7.82. This is contrary to previously found research

in my father’s study, playing a game we call Same/NotSame…So I get to play a game I can’t lose and I get to tell everyone everything I’m thinking while I do it” (80).

height of an ostrich fern is between 1 metre and 1.82 metres (Croft)and the heights of all the ostrich ferns were within the same range (shown in figure 1). Results of the height of the ferns after the experiment had been conducted and were then tabulated into the experimental group and controlled group rows. The results also show the height difference each fern underwent from the beginningend of the experiment. Average results were shown for both the controlled and experimental fern groups (shown in
