    This document outlines a research experiment to compare the carbon production and greenhouse effect of a candle versus a decomposing banana. The hypothesis is that a CO2 monitor placed inside a bell jar with each item will measure their individual carbon production over 5 minutes. The independent variables are the CO2 monitor and bell jar. The dependent variables are the candle and banana. Time is controlled. Materials include a candle, banana, bell jar, and CO2 monitor. The procedure involves decomposing a banana for a week, placing it in the bell jar with the monitor for 5 minutes, repeating with a lit candle, recording the data, and making a graph.

    Biology

    Research question: Which between two carbon producers has a greater greenhouse effect on the
    Earth?

    Hypothesis:

     If I have a candle that is light and placed it into a bell shape jar (the earth) and place a CO₂

    monitor, then the CO₂ monitor will measure the carbon production of the candle.

     Also, if I leave a banana pill out for a week and place it into a bell shape jar (the earth) and place

    a CO₂ monitor, then the CO₂ monitor will measure the carbon production of the candle.

    Variables:

    Independent:

     CO₂ monitor

     A bell shape jar

    Dependent:

     A candle

     A decompose banana

    Controlled:

     Time

    Materials:
     A candle

     A decompose banana

     A bell shape jar

     CO₂ monitor

    Procedure: A.

    1. Place half a single banana pill into a container and leave the banana pill out for a week.

    2. After, place the decompose banana into the bell shape jar with a CO₂ monitor on top.

    3. Leave the banana decomposes in the bell shape jar for 5 (five) minutes and collect the data.

    4. Then take a lit candle and place into the bell shape jar.

    5. Leave the candle inside the bell shape jar for 5 (five) minutes and collect the data.

    6. Then write the data onto a chart and make a graph.
