Biodiversity Experiment

Sameer Patel, 1001.

Task: Design and carry out an experiment that examines the plant populations and biodiversity at three different sites within the school compound.

Aim: To determine whether areas with greater human intervention have an effect on the plant population of the area.

Hypothesis: My prediction is that the location with the greater amount of plant population and biodiversity would be the one with the least human intervention- in this case, Plot 2 (Outside the Staff Room/ESL Lab). The location with the least number of plant population and biodiversity would be the one that experiences the most human intervention, i.e. the primary field, which is used on a daily basis by a large amount of people. There is also construction work being carried out near Plot 3 (Behind the Canteen), which therefore could also affect biodiversity and plant population significantly as well.
