Many farmers and gardeners compost their plant and animal waste. The living material naturally decays in compost bins, forming a dirt-like substance that’s rich in nutrients. The next season, farmers use this substance as a natural fertilizer for their crops.


A biology student has grown tomato plants for several years. Until now, he used an artificial fertilizer formulated for tomato plants. This fertilizer caused his plants to grow faster and taller than they grew in unfertilized soil. The student wants to know whether using natural compost will cause his tomato plants to grow faster and taller than his artificial fertilizer.


Answer the following questions to plan an investigation using the steps of the scientific method and help the student find the answer to his question.


Part B - Whats the students scientific question?

Part C - Construct at least two possible hypotheses for the students experiment

Part D - Choose one hypotheses to make a prediction

Part E - How would you conduct your investigation? In your answer, explain your independent and dependent variables.

Part F - How does the design of your experiment control for outside factors that may affect the results?

Part G - How do you plan to analyze and communicate your results?

Answer 1

B- Do tomato plants grow faster and taller using natural compost or artificial fertilizer?

C- 1: Tomato plants grow faster in compost than in fertilizer. 2: Tomato plants grow taller in compost than in fertilizer.

D- Tomato plants grow taller in natural compost rather than artificial fertilizer.

E- First, I would plant three tomato plants in different pots. One would be full of natural compost, one full of artificial fertilizer, and one with regular dirt. Then, I would wait a few months, giving them the same amount of water each day, and record the results. The independent variables are the amount of time and water, while the dependent variable is the height of the plant after a few months.

F- My design includes a control group, being the plant with the plain dirt, as well as minimizing error by treating the plants with the same amount of water.

G- After a few months, I would record the height of all three plants and see if the tomato plants grown in natural compost or artificial fertilizer were taller.
