a. Take your height measurement (with a ruler) at the date of your plant’s germination. What is the measurement of your plant (in inches)? This number is your “size 1” (S1) number.
Question 4a answer:
b. Take another measurement after 2 weeks (for fast growers), one month (for medium growers), and three months (for slow growers). What is your second measurement number? This number is your “size 2” (S2) number.
Question 4b answer:
c. Now, subtract the second number from the first number. What number did you get? Show your work by taking a picture and inserting the picture to the image box.
Question 4c answer:
d. Now, divide the"size" number (answer from 4c) by the number of days ("time") that you waited in-between your measurements. If your plant was a fast grower, this number would be 14 days, if you had a medium grower, this number would be 30 days (or one month), and if you had a slow grower, this number would be 90 days (or three months). This will be your “time” (T).
What is your “size” number divided by the “time” number? This number is the amount of inches your plant will grow per day.
