Astudent notices that a group of ivy plants growing in a cool room of a building grow at a different rate than a group of the same kind of ivy growing in a warm room in the same building. the student wants to find out why the two groups of plants grow at different rates. explain how she could carry out an experiment using all of the steps of a scientific process.

The student can conduct the experiment with the ivy relatively easy. First, the student should get multiple ivy plants, three would be enough. Than the three ivy's should be planted in separate pots, and put in controlled conditions where the temperatures will be different.

One of the ivy should be put in a room temperature, one in a colder temperature, and one in a warmer temperature. All the ivies should get the same amount of water, have the same soil, and be fertilized in the same manner (if fertilized at all), as well as having pots of the same size.

In this way, the student will be able to monitor the development of the ivies in the three different temperatures, as see which one is the best for the plant.

Collecting data regularly is also very important and recommendable.

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
