Grass Decomposition Lab Problem: How do temperature‚ sunlight‚ amount of moisture‚ and presence of oxygen affect the decomposition of grass? Controlled Variable: Amount of grass and water in each container. Independent Variable: temperature‚ sunlight‚ amount of moisture‚ presence of oxygen. Dependent Variable: decomposition rate of grass. Hypothesis: I believe that there will be the most decomposition in high temperatures‚ low sunlight‚ low amount of moisture‚ and high presense
