LAB 2: Scientific Method in Veit's Woods 1. OBSERVATION: Identify three patterns describing the distribution of plant or animal species in Veit's Woods or the old field. 1-Areas with less light are colder 2-Places with not a lot of light have less flowers 3-Trunks in circle shape 2. QUESTION AND HYPOTHESIS: For each observation, develop a hypothesis that might explain the pattern you observed. Answer the question "What environmental factor enhances or hinders survival, growth or reproduction?" - Due to the small amount of sun light the temperature is lower in areas that are covered by trees. 2-Due to all the sur sunlight. in the open areas flowers cam in areas with more sunlight grow easier 3- For the tree trunks to be circle shape, a tree probably drop some seeds which resulted in that shape 3. PREDICTION: Create a prediction for your experiment, focusing on your measurement (or response) variable. 1- the low Sunlight will leave the temperature low which will prevent The high amount of sunlight in open a lot of vegetation from. growing areas will keep the ter J Jures high with a lot of flowers g Flowers growing 4. EXPERIMENT: Design a manipulative experiment to test one of your hypotheses. Be sure to include and identify the following features in your experimental design. Treatment.
