Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.44 Fair Plant Growth Setups skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A team writes this plan: “We will compare number of seeds per cup levels, use the same seed type and pot size, keep water amount the same, and measure average sprout height every 3 days.” Which improvement would make the plan even stronger? Read all answer choices carefully before deciding.

AChange the seed type for the group expected to grow fastest

BChange water amount whenever a plant looks weak

CRecord only the final answer without dates or units

DUse several plants for each level and average the measurements

Solution & Explanation:Using repeated plants for each level gives more reliable evidence while the variables remain controlled.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A team writes this plan: “We will compare type of pot levels, use the same seed type and pot size, keep hours of light the same, and measure soil temperature at noon every 3 days.” Which improvement would make the plan even stronger? Read all answer choices carefully before deciding.

AChange the seed type for the group expected to grow fastest

BChange hours of light whenever a plant looks weak

CUse several plants for each level and average the measurements

DRecord only the final answer without dates or units

Solution & Explanation:Using repeated plants for each level gives more reliable evidence while the variables remain controlled.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A team writes this plan: “We will compare airflow near plants levels, use the same seed type and pot size, keep container type the same, and measure water lost from soil every 3 days.” Which improvement would make the plan even stronger? Read all answer choices carefully before deciding.

AChange the seed type for the group expected to grow fastest

BUse several plants for each level and average the measurements

CChange container type whenever a plant looks weak
