=The Silver Bullet-A-Saurus=

By: Andy Harrington
====For my CUIN 561 Grow Beast experiment, I wanted to test how a brontosaurus Grow Beast would grow in two different fluid conditions. The two fluids that I compared are tap water, and Coors Light beer. Water is an easy fluid to test and use for making clear comparisons. I chose Coors Light because it is a very watered down beer (it's in the taste). It is only 4.2% alcohol, meaning it is 95.8% water and other ingredients. The conditions of the fluids were exactly the same, the only difference is in the fluid type.==== = = //__Hypothesis:__ The brontosaurus Grow Beast will grow to be 95% of the size of first brontosaurus Grow Beast that was grown in tap water. // //__Materials:__// //__Procedure:__//
 * Two brontosaurus Grow Beasts (or two of the exact same of any type of the Grow Beast)
 * A large container (I used a large tupperware)
 * 40 ounces of room temperature tap water
 * 40 ounces of room temperature Coors Light
 * Recording Sheet/Pencil
 * Centimeter Ruler
 * 1) Fill the large container with 24 ounces of room temperature tap water.
 * 2) Place the container in a room where temperature will be consistent throughout the day/night.
 * 3) Place first grow beast in water, laying on its side.
 * 4) Record the original size of the Grow Beast, then record the change in size, every hour if possible, but at least every four hours for 96 hours (4 days).
 * 5) Repeat procedures 1-4 with 24 ounces of room temperature Coors Light

__//Results://__ //Hour 0 = 4.13 cm Hour 96 = 11.43 cm //
 * Grow Beast in Water

**// **Grow Beast in Coors Light** ////Hour 0 = 4.5 cm Hour 96 = 9.0 cm//

__//Conclusion://__ My hypothesis was incorrect. Had the Grow Beast in Coors Light grown to be 95% of the one in water, it would have been 10.86cm. In Coors Light, the Grow Beast ended up only growing to be 9.0cm. I can't say why this was the case, though I do have other hypotheses. It may have been due to the carbonation in the beer, the alcohol, or the other ingredients. No matter the cause for the lack of growth, it is clear that a Grow Beast in Coors Light does not grow to be 95% of the length of a Grow Beast in water.
