College Level Biology 101 essay on scientific inquiry and an experiment to boot! Thought provoking :)

Assume that your yard has many tall trees that result in about fifty percent of the yard being shaded and fifty percent of the yard being exposed to full sun. The shaded areas and full-sun areas are all intermixed. You are reseeding your lawn and wish to buy only one type of grass seed. The label on Seed 1 states that the grass is excellent in full sun and good in shade, and the label on Seed 2 states that the grass is excellent in shade and good in full sun.

Using the scientific method, design an experiment to determine which seed is best for your lawn. Make sure to account for all steps of the method and to identify your controls.

My hypothesis is that one type of seed will work as well as the other type, as each has one strength and one weakness. I will have four groups in my test, two controls and two experimental groups. Control Group number ONE will be the seeds that are excellent in full sun and good in shade. Control Group number TWO will be the seeds that are excellent in shade and good in full sun. Experimental Group -A- will be the seeds that are excellent in full sun and good in shade. Experimental Group -B- will be the seeds that are excellent in shade and good in full sun.

I will first place Control Group One in an area of the yard that has full sun and no shade. I am looking for optimal growth and healthy grass as the seed packages...
