My Mitosis Experimental Design
I. Problem/Question
Will mitosis occur slower in cold environment?
II. Hypothesis
I believe that cold may affect the rate of mitosis and if I'm correct, I will see rate of mitosis slow down measured by plants hight
III. VariablesIndependent group: Mid-temperature
Dependent group: Plant height |
IV. Experimental GroupsControl Group: A group of in a green house\
Experimental Group/s: 1)Plants in 15 degrees Celsius colder than ideal temperature 2)plants in 15 degrees Celsius hoter than ideal temperature 3)Same amount of water |
V. Experimental Procedure
1. Measure the height of three plants of the species.
2. Put a plant in an greenhouse at an ideal temperature.
3. Place another plant in a area that is 15 degrees Celsius colder then ideal temperature.
4. Place the third plant that's 15 degrees Celsius hotter then ideal temperature.
5.Water the plants once a day for a month the recommended amount of water.
6. Measure the plants height everyday.
7. After the month is over measure the height of the plants once more and compare the growth.

VI. Materials List
1. Three plants of same height and same type
2) A greenhouse areas that is 15 degrees Celsius colder and hotter than the ideal temperature.3) Areas that is 15 degrees Celsius colder
4)Hotter than the ideal temperature.
5)Water
2) A greenhouse areas that is 15 degrees Celsius colder and hotter than the ideal temperature.3) Areas that is 15 degrees Celsius colder
4)Hotter than the ideal temperature.
5)Water
VII. Expected Results
I would expect to see plant growing slower in cold temperature because the cold temperature will start to make the water in cell expand. If my hypothesis is correct cold temperature will affect the plants growth, I will see the plant in colder temperature is grown less than the plant in green house as measured by plants height.
