Analysis

The Results for the Pre-survey data 

     â€‹The results for the Pre-survey data showed me that majority of the students like fruits and vegetables, but only a few get them everyday and also have a garden. Out of the sixteen students, eight of them have a garden and eight of them do not. About 94% of the students like fruits and vegetables, but only 50% have a garden. When I asked them "what do you know about gardening," half of the class didn't know anything, and out of that 50%, eight students, three students have gardens. Those three students have gardens, but didn't know anything about them, so it could be assumed that they don't take care of the garden. 

     Some factors that may affect the data is when the students said that they own a garden, out of those answers, how many are "food gardens" and how many are "decorative gardens." The students idea of a garden. 

     The sampling size is too small to evaluate the whole school, but it gives us an idea of what it's like for the other students especially if these second graders have siblings. The sample size is the same age, and live in the same area.

The Results for the growth among the plants

     The results for the growth among the three type of plants planted is lettuce is the most efficient, fast growing plant out of all three. For lettuce it was growing more the first three weeks and when a month came around. Lettuce after three weeks was about 5.2 centimeters and 6.7 centimeters after a month.

     Bell Peppers was the slowest growing plant, but sprouted six days before carrots and only two days after lettuce. Bell peppers after three weeks was about 4 centimeters and 5.3 centimeters after a month.

     Carrots was faster growing than bell peppers, but the slowest when it came to first sign of little sprouts. carrots after three weeks was about 4.8 centimeters and 6 centimeters after a month.

     Overall, lettuce was the fastest growing plant between the three plants planted.
