Smart Plants: Analyzing the Results (Annotated)

Smart Plants: Analyzing the Results (Annotated)

This animation is the fifth part of a series that introduces the scientific method with the help of a real-life example: roots growing around water pipes in your backyard. In this animation, we analyze the results of the second experiment, which tested the refined hypothesis. The animations of the pathway, “Rooted in Science: Smart Plants and the Scientific Method” are connected by a single narrative and are intended to be followed in a chronological order. If you have just joined us, we encourage you to start this pathway at the beginning with the first animation, “Smart Plants: The Scientific Method Is for Everyone.”
