Collecting data and making observations during an investigation provides the information necessary to draw a conclusion. Based on the information provided, only "Plant 1" received water and sunlight, and it was the only plant that grew and looked healthy. The conclusion "Plants that did not get both sunlight and water did not grow, and some did not survive." is supported by the evidence provided.

Sharon is doing a school project to see if plants must have both water AND sunlight to grow. She decides to put some plants in a window and others in a dark closet. She waters one in the sunshine and one that is in the dark. Sharon forgets to write down her observations and measurements when she studies the plants each day. She makes up the day, a conclusion, and turns it into her teacher. Can we trust Sharon's outcome, why or why not?

Sharon's conclusion cannot be trusted. She only did part of the investigation entirely, so she made up the data that she turned in and based her conclusion on. Conclusions need to be based on accurate and truthful data collection to be trusted. Sharon would have to repeat the investigation correctly to believe the new outcome.

Keith forgot to water his new plant for almost a whole week. When he checked on it, the plant was wilted, and the leaves were turning brown. He had it in the sunlight as the directions said, but it didn't look right. What happened to Keith's plant, and why?

Keith's plant was wilting and turning brown because it did not have any water for almost a whole week. Plants need both water and sunlight to grow and survive. His plant had sunshine and was still dying because plants must have BOTH to do well. Keith didn't mean to perform an investigation about this topic, but his real-world experience can help him to learn and answer a scientific question with evidence.

Hannah's mother gave her a sunflower plant for her birthday. She put it in the living room in a shady corner and watered it every day. She noticed it drooping and turning brown but could not figure out why. What was the most likely reason the plant was not growing and green?

Hannah's plant was not growing, was drooping, and turning brown because it was not getting enough sunlight. Plant leaves use sunlight to help make food so they can grow and survive. If it was in a shady corner, it couldn't get the sunlight it needed. She did an excellent job of watering the plant but was missing the sunshine piece for survival.

Candy and Carly's mother gave them each a daisy plant to decorate their bedrooms. Candy put her plant on the windowsill, watered it every day, and checked for flowers and new leaves sprouting. Carly put her plant on a shelf in her room near the window and watered it once or twice a week. Candy's plant had beautiful white flowers and bright green leaves. Carly's daisy has no flowers, and the leaves were wrinkled. What was the most likely reason that Carly's plant had no flowers and had wrinkly leaves?

Carly's plant did not have flowers and had wrinkly leaves because it did not have enough water. Plant leaves use sunlight to help make food so they can grow and survive. It was in the sunshine, so it was able to make its food. What was missing was the water it needed to absorb nutrients from the soil. Plant roots absorb nutrients from the water and the dirt, and because it did not have enough water, it could not grow properly.

Debbie is doing a school project to see if plants must have both water AND sunlight to grow. She decides to put some plants in a window and others in a dark closet. She waters one in the sunshine and one that is in the dark. Debbie wrote down her daily observations and measurements and created a data table to display the information. She concludes that the plants in the window that received water grew the tallest and had the healthiest appearance. Is her conclusion valid based on the information she gathered? What evidence supports her claim?

Plants can live without sunlight as long as they have water.
Plants can live without sunlight as long as they have water.
The statement in the question is false. Plants cannot live without sunlight, even if they have water available. If plants do not have water or sunlight, they will not survive. Plants need sunlight to make their food and provide them with nutrients to grow. Plants must have water and absorb it through their roots. Water and sunlight are two things plants MUST have to grow and live.

Collecting data and making observations during an investigation provides the information necessary to conclude. Based on the information provided, "Plant 4" did the worst because it died. "Plants 2 and 3" did not grow and have brown leaves, so they did not do well but are still alive. "Plant 4" had no sunlight or water, so it had none of the necessary elements for growth or survival.
