Which plant will grow the tallest in 10 days, bean, green bean, or tomato?

We started an experiment last week. As a class, we came up with a testable question, wrote the materials and procedures down. We then set-up our experiment where each friend at each table could select either a green bean, pea, or tomato seed. We decided how much water and how often we watered it. We also created a data table where we record the daily growth. I think when we are done and have made our conclusion, we will make a line graph to show the growth over 10 days (continuous data...data we measure....use line graph to represent....one of our math benchmarks...lol).

The students are in charge of their plant; they water it and record it's growth without prompting. They have been doing so well!! They come in each morning and measure it and record the data. Here are some of our plants after 6 days:
