Hypothesis 
 
I think plants that grow inside grow better than plants outside. 
Abstract 
My question is do plants grow better inside or outside . I chose  this question because I wanted to know what the anserwer was so that I would know  where to plant plants, and why.My hypothesis was that I think plants that grow inside grow better than plants outside. My reasons for that was because when the plant is inside the weather is not  hot or cold. Its also easier for the plant to live longer.  
 
Materials   
    2 Tropical plants 
    camera for pictures 
    water  
    soil 
    Plant
Procedure   
I would take two plants that are the same and set one plant inside my house and set one plant outside my house.Every four days I would take pictures of the plants each week.The indoor plant would be watered twice a week ,and the outdoor plant would not. The outdoor plant would be watered by nature, and the indoor plant would be watered by me.
 
Results   
Until day eight the indoor plant stayed the same to 5ıı. Then it grew up to 5.5 to day 12.Then it grow up to 5 and 7 /16  to day 16.The outdoor plant also grew up to 5ıı to day eight. Then it grew up to 5 and 1, 8th to day 12, then 5 .5 to day 16. 
Conclusion 
My hypothesis was right,  plants that grow inside grow better than plants outside.The plant outside did not die but it doesnıt look good. The indoor plant looks the same from the beginning.It really depends on the weather for the outdoor plant, so if it was summer time the outdoor plant would probably be the same from the beginning.
