College Level Biology 101 essay on scientific inquiry and an experiment to boot! Thought provoking :)

Assume that your yard has many tall trees that result in about fifty percent of the yard being shaded and fifty percent of the yard being exposed to full sun. The shaded areas and full-sun areas are all intermixed. You are reseeding your lawn and wish to buy only one type of grass seed. The label on Seed 1 states that the grass is excellent in full sun and good in shade, and the label on …

…each seed type is equal. If I find that one seed does better than the other in its non-optimal growing conditions of the yard, I will choose that seed. If I find that both seeds do well in their non-optimal growing conditions in, I will pick either seed, as one is as good as the other. I will analyze the data as described in my purpose and purchase the seed of choice from that study.
