Pea Growth Rate Experiment


In Wes' math class we began planting peas. For our expieriment, we decided to grow two different varieties of pea plants, the Oregon Sugar Pod ll (OSP2) and the Mammoth Melting Snap (MMS). We started planting them on Jan. 13 and after they sprouted (sometime around Jan. 17) we began collecting data to later discover each of their growth rates. We measured the heights of each plant every other day than placed the information on a "Pea Experiment Data sheet" that we had created in our Science Journals. Afterwards, we gathered our information with several other students and averaged our two different plant growth rates on a spreadsheet created on our Google documents account. Finally, we put it all together and ended up with our lovely "Pea Variety Growth Rate Chart" (as seen above).
