D. Conclusion

1. Stephen predicted if an electric current traveled through the soil in

which seeds were planted then seeds would grow faster.

2. Susan said, “If I fertilize my plants, then they will blossom better.”

3. Jonathon’s data showed that household cockroaches moved away from

raw cucumber slices.

4. Rene grew bacteria from the mouth on special plates in the laboratory.
She placed drops of different mouthwashes on bacteria of each plate.

5. Dana questioned how synthetic fibers were different from natural fibers.

6. Angela’s experiment proved that earthworms move away from light.

7. Michael fed different diets to three groups of guinea pigs. His

experiment showed that guinea pigs need vitamin C and protein in their diets.
