Problem Statement

3
Hypothesis

• If a rose, carnation, and tulip are placed in a
  vase with water then the carnation will last
  longer without soil.

4
Materials

• Three types of flowers a rose, tulip and a
  carnation
• Three vases
• Water

5
Procedures

• Fill each vase the same amount of water- to ¼
  full
• With scissors, snip a small chuck of the stems
  off at an angle for each stem
• Put a single stem of a rose, carnation, and a
  tulip in a separate vases
• Change the water every 48 hours
• Observe each type of flower for 1 week

6
Variables

Results

• After observing the 3 different types of flowers
  for a period of 1 week the following was the
  outcome
• On day 4 the tulip began to wilt.
• On day 5 the rose wilted.
• On day 7 the carnation did not completely wilt
  but began to show signs of deteriorating.

11
Conclusion

• My hypothesis was correct. When three types of
  flowers were placed in a vase with water and
  observed over a period of 7 days the carnation
  lasted the longest without soil.

Application

• This information can be useful if someone was
  buying flowers for a gift. The carnation would be
  better because the carnation lasts longer and one
  would get their monies worth.
• It can also be helpful when making a decision on
  when to purchase a specific type of flower for a
  special event. For example, a bride might select
  a rose as her flower of preference for her
  arrangements. A florist can use this information
  to know when to purchase the merchandise they
  need. The florist will know to buy it no earlier
  than 3 days prior to the event.
