In our CUIN 561 course, we are learning all about Active Learning. To experience Active Learning ourselves, our Professor, Dr. Mark Roddy, asked us to run our own investigations of Grow Beasts. We have one Grow Beast that is immersed in Water (the control) and one in a liquid of our choice - I chose Pink Lemonade. We track the growth of each Beast hourly for 4 days.



I hypothesized that the Grow Beast immersed in water would grow the largest as it was the liquid recommended by the manufacturer and they would have likely tested this out....
 * Hypothesis:**

2 Glasses that are at least 5 inches wide and 5 inches tall Water Another liquid (in this investigation, I used Pink Lemonade)Paper to document results Pencil Ruler with centimeters 2 Grow Beasts
 * Materials:**

1. Measure both Grow Beasts and record their beginning size on the paper. 2. Fill one cup with water. 3. Fill one cup with another liquid (Pink Lemonade). 4. Place a Grow Beast in each cup. 5. After one hour, remove the Grow Beasts, measure their progress and record the data on the paper. Ensure you place them back into the appropriate liquid. Repeat this procedure hourly for 4 days. 6. After 4 days of data, enter the data into a spreadsheet program such as Excel and create a line graph.
 * Procedure:**

The Grow Beasts soaked in water grew faster than the Grow Beasts soaked in Pink Lemonade.
 * Results:

Conclusion: Water is the best medium for Grow Beasts to grow in.
