Discussion

The hypothesis of this experiment is If the Eco columns are in the incubator and set
the temperature higher than room temperature ten degree Celsius, and be outside, then the
Eco column that outside the incubator will grow better. The result of this experiment
supports the hypothesis, because the plant outside the incubator grew more than the plant
inside the incubator. Even the plant inside the incubator is taller than outside the incubator,
but the color turned into white. The plant outside the incubator grew shorter, but had color
and leaves. The results supported the introduction that the plant can grow in the suitable
temperature, should not be hotter.
There were many issues and problems in this experiment. First is the amount of
sunlight; the plant that stayed in the incubator didnt have enough sunlight because the
incubator must be closed all the time, except from collected the result. So the Eco column
that was inside the incubator got only a little sunlight. To solve this problem, inside the
incubator should have a light source such as a lamp, or used the incubator that had a window,
so the sunlight can reach the Eco column inside the incubator. Second is water, the plant in
the incubator had less moistness than outside the incubator, thats the other reason why the
plant in the incubator was grow less than the plant outside the incubator. This problem can be
solved by covering both of the Eco columns. Covering the Eco columns could block the
water in the Eco column evaporated and gone. Third is the frequency of watering the plant, to
water the plant is important, especially for the experiment. Plant should get water every day,
but this experiment was passed through New Years holiday. So nobody watered the Eco
column between New Years holiday, and most of the plant died, and the experiment should
be done again. This problem can be solved by took the plant back home between the holiday
and weekend so the plant be watered every day. Forth is about the Eco column, at first, the
Eco column has three layers and the plant that was looked for the experiment is the highest

layer, there has a plant in the middle which was unnecessary, so that layer was removed when
the experiment was failed from the long holiday. So the best Eco column that suitable to this
experiment should had only two layers, the upper part that has the plant, and the lower part
that was the aquatic part. The aquatic part in the Eco column was still important, because
under the plant should have the water to moisten the roots. Fifth is about the soil and
fertilizers, every plant had the suitable soil and mineral for their growth, the people who do
this experiment should have knowledge about soil for the plant. Sixth was the way to water
the plant in the Eco column, when watering the plant, the water should be slowly poured. In
this experiment, sometimes the water be poured hardly and make the seed kept the water too
much and died. The last problem is the temperature in the incubator, the temperature in the
incubator change many times, and sometimes the temperature in the incubator was nearly
outside the incubator. The temperature in the incubator must be stable for the experiment.
This experiment was successful, but so much problem. In the future the problem
would be decreased from the issues in this experiment. The temperature is important in the
ecosystem, also the other factor such as sunlight and water. The conclusion of this experiment
is the temperature is effected the plant growth.
