Draft 1: Miami Leaf Drop

Hypothesis:
The older specie (ginko baloba) will drop its leaves at an accelerated pace as compared to a newer specie (quercus). We conject that the gingko baloba will lose its leaves over the course of one night, whereas the quercus’ falling rate will occur at a more continuous rate.

Method:
We plan to use giant nets to capture the leaves that fall off the trees. If possible, we also plan to use time-lapse cameras to monitor the trees.
We will record the amount of leaves that fall into the net (that also belong to each respective tree) early each morning.
(please give us a good grade and don’t touch our leaves!)
