Hypothesis 
 I think a plant with plenty of moisture will grow more rapidly than than a plant with less moisture. 
 
Abstract 
I did this experiment to find out how too much moisture affected plants.
Materials   
  • Two plants of the same kind; 
  • Fertilized soil; 
  • Two plants pots; 
  • Same water. 
Procedure   
  1. First start with two plants labled  as plant A and plant B.
  2. The plants are in pots with the same amount of fertilized soil.
  3. I then put regular amount of water on plant A every five days 1/4 cup of water .
  4. I will put a full cup of water on plant B everyday.  I then place the two plants by the 
  5. Window so that they all get equal amount of sunlight. My variables will be how high.
  6. The two plants grow in the same time period.
Results   
Plant A with plenty of moisture grew faster than plant B with less moisture.
Conclusion 
My conclusion proved my hypothesis right. The conclusion was that it is better to water your plant with the right amount of water.
