Botanic Puzzle Maze Presentation


Create a presentation (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, etc.) on the Botanic Puzzle Maze Experiment, covering specific sections. Begin with an introduction slide including your name and date. Present an introduction detailing the experiment's purpose and significance. Include a slide with your formulated hypothesis and its justification. Then, describe the materials used, maze construction, light condition simulation, and planting process. Outline the experiment's duration and monitoring schedule. Display collected data using charts and tables, ensuring at least two labeled photos per week as specified. Interpret the results in relation to the hypothesis and discuss unexpected outcomes and findings' implications. Conclude with a summary of key findings, confirming or rejecting the hypothesis, and suggesting further research. Maintain an engaging design, use visuals effectively, and cite references on a dedicated slide. Aim for brevity, clarity, and impactful content.

I have included an outline and a rubric to guide you.
