=**Which Colored Light Has the Most Effect on a Plant's Growth?**=

The hypothesis is that the blue, red, and white (or regular) lights will make the plants grow tallest. A secondary hypothesis is that the green colored light will have the least effect on the radish plant’s growth. For our experiment we put red, blue, yellow, pink, purple, green, and regular or white cellophane over radishes in pots; put the pots in a sunlit area in the greenhouse; water the plants every day; and measure the height of plants in centimeters and record it weekly. At the end of our experiment, we saw that the pot with red cellophane and the pot with yellow cellophane did the best followed, surprisingly, by green then blue, then purple, then pink, and finally, and again surprisingly, white.

If we could give any advice to anyone who is doing this project, then we would say to choose some different colors of cellophane, to find a space in the greenhouse first, and not to forget to water the plants extra on Friday. If someone were to bring this project to the next level, then we would suggest that they should use colored light bulbs instead of cellophane.

Though this project was fun, we would probably do another project to explore the endless possibilities that is called SCIENCE!!!.
