Growth rate in Plant Sprouts

by Alex Reed

Submitted : Spring 2021

This project makes use of early calculus, particularly the model of exponential growth. Using this model, the formula can be applied in this experiment to determine the growth rate of plant seedlings by comparing the number of sprouts over two observed days. This yields a resulting growth rate average of 3.371 sprouts, while simultaneously giving a formula for determining the remainder of the rates.
