The park, despite being a single entity, presents two distinct landscapes. One area is characterized by its oceanic features, teeming with a variety of sea creatures. In contrast, the other area is predominantly forested. However, during my winter visits, I noticed a conspicuous absence of wildlife in the forested region. This could be attributed to the seasonal changes.
On my visit, I encountered some seagulls swimming and some walking along the ocean coast.
I have chosen to study temperature affecting plant growth. A grower can determine the ideal temperature for maximizing the growth of a particular plant with the use of the findings of such research. The vegetation on the trail consisted of Oregan grape, Common Ivy, Western Swordfern and Coastal redwood tree. So I will consider these plants for my study.
My hypothesis is that certain plants can survive the cold, more flourish throughout the summer. My prediction is higher temperatures are ideal for plants to flourish in, provided they have an abundant supply of water.
Dependent Variable is the plant growth rate
Controlled Variable will be the light and air presence or absence

Your hypothesis and prediction are clear and directly related to the observations you made in the park. However, to strengthen your hypothesis, it would be helpful to provide more specific details about the temperature range you’re considering and how you will measure plant growth rate. Additionally, consider elaborating on why you chose those particular plant species for your study and how you will control for other potential factors influencing plant growth, such as soil composition and nutrient availability. Overall, your hypothesis is promising, but providing more specific details and addressing potential confounding variables will enhance the robustness of your research.
