Plant Growth Lab Report Plant Growth Ashton Abernethy Observation: Which Plant will grow better? The one in normal sunlight or the one in artificial sunlight? Hypothesis: The one in normal sunlight will grow better Materials: 4 bean seedlings of equal size 4 pots of equal size Potting soil Water Green Light Red Light Procedure: 1. Gather Materials 2. Pot the bean seedlings 3. Put one seedling in a window, another under a red light, another under a green light, and the other in total darkness 4. Water them each the same amount 5. Measure the seedlings everyday for 5 days Results: See graph on other page Analysis: My analysis of the experiment was that the plant under red light grew the best. The one in the window grew the 2nd best, and the ones under the green light and in total darkness died. Conclusion: My hypothesis was incorrect. The plant under the red light grew better than the one under the normal sunlight. 1. No, the data did not support the researchers hypothesis because the researcher guessed that the window plant would grow better but it didnt. 2. It was important to record each seedlings initial height because then you know for sure which one grew the most. 3. It is important for each seedling to get the same amount of water because then you would have 2 variables. A project should only have 1 variable. 4. The researcher could conclude that plants do not grow good in darkness or under green light. 5. Plant A, the one in the window, would be the control Science

Disabled People in the Workforce Professor Ramos Blog

Disabled People in the Workforce HuffPost Article Summary: In the article, â€Å"Disabled Individuals Bring Innovation to the Workforce† by Jay Ruderman, it discusses the positive effects of disabled people in the workforce. Unfortunately, â€Å"the unemployment rate for people with disabilities is twice the national average† (Ruderman, 2013), which really sucks because disabled have a lot to offer. Where would we be if Beethoven stopped composing music after he became deaf? Or if Roosevelt wasn’t elected to be the President of the United States? Also, because of the difficulties they’ve had to face in their daily routines, â€Å"they know how to think out-of-the-box† (Ruderman, 2013). The U.S. Department of Education has released studies that said â€Å"workers with disabilities are rated consistently as average or above average in performance, quality and quantity of work, flexibility, and attendance† (Ruderman, 2013). There also needs to be more disabled people in the workforce because the disabled population has increased by 25% and they need to make a living somehow. People with disabilities may look different than us, talk different than us, and even perform tasks different than us but just because theyre different doesnt mean that they should be thought of any less than people without disabilities. Discussion Questions: Is there a mostly positive environment for disabled workers? Will a negative environment affect their performance/the willingness to hire them?
