INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:
[remember it must be a controlled experiment]
1. A hypothesis
2. Explain how to set up the experiment:
  • brainstorm a list of all the variables that must be kept constant during the experiment
  • include identification of the independent variable
  • the dependent variable
  • identify the control group
  • identify the experimental group(s)
3. Provide enough details for someone else to set up your experiment

Do cut flowers last longer if kept in water that contains aspirin?

Hypothesis- They will not last any longer if kept in water that contains aspirin

Variables -
1. Species of flower
2.Water
3. Age of flower
4. Temp. of water
5. Amount of aspirin
6. Age of aspirin
7. Type of water
8. Age of water
9. Brand of aspirin
10. Size of container
11. Material of container
12. Age of flower
13. Amounts of sunlight each flower is exposed to
14. How and when the flowers were cut

Independent Variable- Cut flowers
Dependent Variable- Flowers in regular water

Control Group: The group with the flower that is put in regular water
Experimental Group: The Group with the cut flowers put in water containing aspirin

Steps to conduct experiment(procedure):
1. Collect flowers for experiment
2. Place the flowers in two seperate containers
3. Place one flower in the water containing aspirin and the other in regular water
4. Allow the flowers enough time to tell whether one or the other lasted longer
5. Evaluate between the two flowers to see which lasted longer
