Hypothesis and Final Conclusion

The primary school year ended mid-December.  Dominic has finished Grade 1 with acceptable grades, and will move on to Grade 2 next year, with the resolution to do better. 

The school sent back a bagful of stuff that he had been using in his class: crayons, pencils, a CD of their PowerPoint composition, a calculator, and half a dozen partly-used scrapbooks.

One of the scrapbooks was used for his science class. The entry on one page caught our eyes:

HYPOTHESIS: My plant will grow big.

On the same page was a photo of Dominic smiling and holding a flower pot.

The next few pages, with photos, chronicled the life of his bean plant over several weeks, how it started growing, then started limping and finally, the last page had:

CONCLUSION: I am wrong. My plant is dead.
