Conclusion: Previous research confirms our results¹. This information along with our own gathered data--which can be seen on the "--"Graph--leads us to conclude that our hypothesis was correct: increasing amounts of duckweed will absorb increasing amounts of phosphate/phosphorous (difference between phosphate/phosphorous??).

Sources of Error/What you would've done differently (<-need?): In this lab, we mistakenly and unknowingly chose to use an amount of phosphorous (for te duckweed to absorb) that was too highly concentrated for the (name of fancy absorbency machine thingy) to measure. This along with our rough measurement of the amount of duckweed put into each container contributed to the inaccuracy of our quantitative results. However, a general pattern could still be deduced, thereby confirming previous researcher's results as well as our own hypothesis.
