Predicting Judges' Responses in a Science Fair

Lucas was excited about the upcoming school science fair. He spent weeks preparing his project, which was an experiment about plant growth. He decided to use two identical plants, watering one plant every day while only watering the other plant once a week. Lucas was confident that the daily watered plant would grow taller and healthier. On the day of the science fair, he presented his project to the judges, explaining his hypothesis and showing the differences in the plants' growth.

As he continued to speak, the judges noticed that the plant he watered daily was noticeably taller, and the leaves appeared greener than the other plant. They seemed impressed with his work. However, Lucas knew that he had one more aspect to demonstrate: he wanted to show the roots of both plants.
