Two identical bean plants are grown next to each other. They receive the same amount of water and sunlight. One plant is covered with a green, light-filtering plastic cover, and the other with a clear plastic cover. Measurements of the bean plants’ heights are recorded every day for two weeks.

The student writes a lab report detailing the experimental procedure and results.
