SpongeBob's Gardening Experiment: Testing Flower Growth

Join SpongeBob in his colorful quest to grow the biggest flowers for Sandy! He conducts a delightful experiment comparing two seed types: a new brand using a special "booster" fertilizer and an old brand without it. Both were planted in sunny locations and watered daily. By measuring the diameter of each flower, SpongeBob discovers which seeds yield the largest blooms. Dive into the experiment to analyze the control group, independent and dependent variables, and to find out which seeds produced the most breathtaking flowers!
