Set 5 Section B (20 Marks)

This document contains descriptions of 5 investigations: 1) An investigation to determine plants' basic need for water. Plant T was watered daily while plant U was not. After 2 weeks, plant T stayed alive while plant U died, showing plants need water to survive. 2) An investigation studying the swings of a simple pendulum over 1 minute with threads of varying lengths. The number of swings decreased as length increased, showing an inverse relationship between length and swings. 3) A study of how light passes through different materials. The material was the variable and light transmission was observed, with one material letting more light pass. 4) Tracking the direction and length of a shadow over a day, finding
