Science fair crisis! Help desperately needed! [View All]

[Changenow]

My daughter did a science fair project in which she had three sets of two plants, started from seedlings. Two plants she read to, two she played music to and the final received no special attention. She rotated them, measured their waterings, had them under a grow light and did everything she could to keep their situations identical but for the variable.

She wrote her conclusions before plotting her data. It seemed obvious that there would be no relationship, right? Wrong, the plants that had the music grew notably faster. Why? How can this be? What possible theory could account for the difference?

Scientists help! She is up against a deadline!

Thank You, she did work hard so saving her is a worthy cause.

P.S. Yes, she has learned not to write her conclusions before reviewing her data
