Certainly! Here’s how Ava could structure her plan to investigate light:
### Investigation Plan
#### Question
How does the color of light affect the growth of plants?
#### Hypothesis
If plants are exposed to different colors of light (red, blue, and green), then the plants exposed to blue light will grow taller and healthier than those exposed to red and green light, because blue light is more effective for photosynthesis.
#### Materials
1. **Plants**: 6 identical seedlings (e.g., bean plants)
2. **Light Sources**:
- Red LED light
- Blue LED light
- Green LED light
3. **Grow Lights**: To provide consistent light exposure
4. **Soil**: Equal amount for planting
5. **Plant Pots**: 6 pots for planting
6. **Ruler**: To measure plant height
7. **Water**: For watering the plants evenly
8. **Notebook**: To record observations and measurements
9. **Timer or Clock**: To track experiment duration
10. **Labels**: To identify the different light treatment groups
#### Time Required
1. **Setup**: 1 hour to plant seedlings and set up grow lights
2. **Light Treatment**: 6 weeks (with daily monitoring)
- Each day: 10-15 minutes to check plant growth and record data
3. **Data Analysis**: 2-3 hours to analyze growth data and write conclusions
**Total Time: Approximately 6 weeks and 10-15 minutes per day for monitoring, plus setup and analysis time.**
### Summary
Ava's plan involves investigating the impact of different colors of light on plant growth, with a clear hypothesis, necessary materials, and a structured timeline. This approach will help her gather data and draw conclusions based on her observations.
