4. Daily Science Partner B Thursday 08-18-11 SpongeBob loves to garden and wants to grow lots of pink flowers for his pal Sandy. He bought a special Flower Power fertilizer to see if will help plants produce more flowers. He plants two plants of the same size in separate containers with the same amount of potting soil. He places one plant in a sunny window and waters it every day with fertilized water. He places the other plant on a shelf in a closet and waters it with plain water every other day. What did SpongeBob do wrong in this experiment? Explain.

5. Answer: SpongeBob did not provide both plants with the same amount of water and sunshine. In order to test the fertilizer correctly, both plants should have been placed in the sunny window and watered every day with the same amount of water. The only difference between the two plants should have been the fertilizer - one plant would be watered with the water with fertilizer and the other would be watered with plain water.
