Purpose- Witch aquatic plant will grow the best, the one that is exposed to sun light, the one who is not, or the one who is in the box?

Research-

Hypothesis – We predict that the one who is exposed to the light of the sun will be healthier and live longer due to the fact that sun light is necessary for the growth of a aquatic plant. Experiment – We got three plants and put them into bottles and filled them with enough water to cover the plant completely, we then put the three plants in different lighting. One in lots of sunlight, one in the room light and put one in a closed box with no light. We then waited for two weeks to get our results.
