The document summarizes an experiment on the effect of temperature on stripe formation in snails. Hypothetical data showed that snails in cold environments developed substantially fewer stripes over 7 days than those in temperate or hot environments, supporting the hypothesis that environmental factors influence stripe formation. However, the summary graph only represented one independent and dependent variable, and did not include data on other factors that could also affect results.

Experimental Design:

Hypothetical Data:

Cold Temperate Hot


Day 1 0 stripes 0 stripes 0 stripes
Day 2 0 stripes 1 stripe 1 stripe
Day 3 1 stripe 2 stripes 3 stripes
Day 4 1 stripe 3 stripes 5 stripes
Day 5 2 stripes 4 stripes 6 stripes
Day 6 2 stripes 5 stripes 8 stripes
Day 7 3 stripes 6 stripes 9 stripes

Conclusion:
According to the data gathered, environmental factors do play an important role in the formation of
stripes on snails. Cold environments produce substantially lower numbers of stripes than temperate and
hot environments in the time period measured. Therefore, the initial hypothesis was correct. Because
the temperatures caused noticeable differences in the shell, it introduces the possibility that the
environment affects the shell stripes, size, or shape.

One problem with our experiment is that we have only one graph representing only one independent
variable’s effect over only one dependent variable. Because other independent and dependent variables
were tested in the experiment, our graph is not a complete representation of the entire data set. Also,
we were missing data on all the independent variables save the temperature.
