Aim:
To determine how the growth of duckweed is affected by the amount of light. To do so, we had 12 samples placed in varying levels of light; we used natural light which was near the window, high light on a window sill with constant light on it and for low light we put the samples in a drawer. (There could’ve been a problem with the

Conclusion:
Before we conducted our experiment, we hypothesized that the natural light environment would be the best place for frond growth. After observing the cups from all of the different light environments, we conclude that the fitting environment for the duckweed is natural light but it doesn’t thrive in natural light but it lives linger compared to the other duckweeds in different amounts of light considering the fact that it had the most number of living duckweed
