You need to plan an experiment to find out if the amount of water seeds get makes a difference to how well they grow.

The experiment needs to be a fair test — most things need to be kept the same for each container. This is so that any differences in the way the plants grow is because of the amount of water added.

1. If you were doing a fair test, what would you need to keep the same for each tray?

Soil, seed, container, environment, fertiliser             3 or more correct choices
