Purpose

To determine whether the bean plants, chives, or mint leaves will most suitable in a green roof based on their growth, and heat, and water absorption

Hypothesis

I believe that out of all three plants, the bean plant will grow the fastest and tallest. The bean plant seed is largest in size. Therefore, it contains the nutrients it needs to start growing right away. On the other hand, the other two seeds are small and have to absorb the nutrients from the soil before it can start to grow. Also, the bean plant will also grow the tallest because it grows quite aggressively compared to other plants. I have seen pictures of fully grown chive plants and there is no way it can compare with a fully grown bean plants. The mint leaves, however may grow as tall as a bean plant. But since the bean plant grows the fastest, then in the 15-day experimental period, it will be the tallest.
