This document summarizes the results of three trials conducted by a science fair group to test their hypothesis that plants stimulated by an electrical charge would grow more than unstimulated plants. Each trial measured the daily growth in millimeters of two plant groups over two weeks. The results showed that in all three trials, the electrically stimulated plants grew 2-9 mm more per day on average than the unstimulated plants, supporting the group's hypothesis.

Analysis: Based on my data, the plants that were stimulated by an electrical charge grew more
than the plants that were not stimulated by electricity by heights that ranged between 2-9
millimeters more.
Observations:
Electrically stimulated plants grew more.
During the trials there wasn’t any results in which the normally grown plant ended up
being taller.
The range of growth varied a lot.
This was probably caused by different sources of error and other factors: climate changes,
natural variation in sun exposure, natural exposure to animal life, etc.
CONCLUSION: Our Hypothesis was supported by our overall results; the bean group that received
an electrical charge daily (5 minutes) for a period of two weeks grew more than the bean group
that did not receive an electrical charge.
