Collecting data

Quantify your results by reporting things in numbers, not just observations. For example, say that your plants grew 1 centimeter. Dont say that the plants "look bigger today than they did yesterday". Words like "bigger" mean different things to different people, so reporting your results using words can lead to confusion. You want to tell people exactly how much your plants grew.
