Read the six sentences and track the two pots, watering and recorded heights.
The idea
The first plant measures ten centimetres and the second seven, a difference of three. The story records one comparison; Selin decides that more observation is needed before concluding whether light caused the difference.

Selin iki fasulye tohumu ekti. Birinci saksıyı pencerenin yanına, ikinciyi odanın içine koydu. İkisine de aynı gün eşit miktarda su verdi. Bir hafta sonra ilk bitki on, ikinci bitki yedi santimetreydi. Selin gözlemlerini deftere yazdı. Işığın fark yaratıp yaratmadığını anlamak için daha çok gözlem yapması gerektiğini düşündü.

Watch out
Two observations alone do not prove that light caused the height difference. The story gives no general growing rule.
