If I grow three plants on a motorized turntable with light on one side, and grow three plants that are stationary with light on one side, then I should see a difference or change in the direction the plants are leaning. By using the Scientific Method I can organize my data to observe, question, hypothesize, predict, and experiment to compare results.
