Control- Project will be conducted in a 4th grade classroom setting, and facilitated weekly by the Researcher of the Science Project, and Project Monitor. Control group participants will do a Read-Aloud of One Bean written by Anne Rockwell, and Illustrated by Megan Halsey. Students will use the Science Lab at the facility to pot their own seedling, and create a chart to mark bi-weekly changes.
Independent Variable- Researcher will conduct similar experiment in a home environment of Ivy sprouts planted in Soil, Sand, Pond Water, and Gravel. Researcher Wondering: Will the plants germinate or sprout differently under incandescent lights which give off heat; and, will the environment yield varying results since under controlled and consistent conditions.
Dependent Variable- Researcher will have school project conducted under the guidance of a Facilitator, in a classroom setting where there are fluorescent lights that are cooler than incandescent lights. In this environment, Researcher noticed that the construction work being done in and around the building might affect the outcome of the experiment. Conditions of the classroom varied from very cool to dry heat.
