Conclusions

__Grow Beast Investigation Home__ Janie's Groovy Grow Beast Experiment  Conclusions Based on the results obtained during this experiment, I concluded that my hypothesis that the growth of a Grow Beast will be affected by the environmental conditions in which it is grown should be accepted. I also feel that my second hypotheses that salt water will inhibited the growth of a Grow Beast should also be accepted. The Grow Beast that was immersed in the tap water grew from 4.8 cm to 12.6 cm over the course of the four days. This represents an increase of 8.2cm. In contrast, the Beast grown in the ocean water grew from 4.1 cm to 5.2 cm; an increase of only 1.1cm. The difference in the growth rates can be seen on the graph, where the slope of the trend lines clearly represent a difference in the rate of growth as well. The tap water beast experienced a growth rate of approximately 5% whereas the growth rate of the ocean water beast was less than 1% over the same time period.
