Problem
Will Miracle-Gro make the plants grow
twice as fast and twice as tall and
develop twice as fast?
Research
We researched Miracle-Gro’s claim that
their fertilizer helps plants develop and
grow twice as fast and twice as tall.
Hypothesis
If we put Miracle-Gro in the
experimental plants and regular
fertilizer in the controlled plants, then
the experimental plants will develop
leaves, flowers, and buds and grow
taller faster.
Procedure
We put 3 pellets of Miracle-Gro in the
experimental plants, and 3 pellets of
regular fertilizer in the controlled plants
Then, we took observations of the
plants as they grew.
Lastly, we harvested and counted the
seeds which our plants produced.
Experiment
First, we filled the plant pods with soil
and fertilizer.
Then we took careful observations of
the plants as they developed.
Lastly, we collected the seeds our
plants reproduced.
Data
We collected data and results and
published them in these graphs.

Conclusion
We thought that if we put the same number of Miracle
Gro pellets in the experimental group as regular fertilizer
pellets in the control group, then the experimental plants
would develop features larger and faster. We found out that the
control plants grew better than the experimental. Our data
showed that the experimental had a total of 32 less leaves, 14
less flowers, 19 less pods, 14 less seeds, and grew an
average of 5.352 less than the control plants. We think that
because David’s plant number 3 was accidentally bumped in
an observation, it affected the plant for the better. His plant
developed many more seeds, leaves, flowers, and pods. It also
soared to an amazing height. In the future, we would like to
test other brands to see if they perform better or worse than
