Hypothesis 
 We both think the plant in the dark will die. 
 
Purpose 
 We wanted to learn more about photosynthesis and the effect that it has on plants.
Materials   
We have two plants (all ready grown), one placed in the light, and one placed in the dark.
Procedure   
  1. We  took one plant that was all ready grown and put it under a regular lamp. 
  2. We watered it every two days. 
  3. We measured it  three days ago and it had only grown  1 inch. 
  4. We took the other plant and put it  in the dark and watered it the same way we did the plant in the light, but it died. 

    5.  
     
Results   
 The plant  in the light grew perfectly. It was watered every two days.  We measured it and it was 6 inches and it was only 5 inches when we began. 
 
Conclusion 
 What we thought was going to happen was  that the plant with the light  was going to grow perfectly,and   we predicted right.
