The hypothesis is that the underside of a plant leaf takes in gases.

You will coat the top and bottom of four leaves from two varieties of plants with a heavy layer of Vaseline and observe the leaves daily for one week.

You will need two varieties of plants, Vaseline, and a camera.

The results showed that three of the four leaves with Vaseline on the underside died, while only one leaf with Vaseline on the top died. This suggests that plant leaves take in gases from the bottom, not the top, of each leaf.

This science project is interesting because it shows how plants exchange gases with the atmosphere and how the stomata on the underside of the leaves allow gases to move in and out.

Experiment variations to consider include using different types of plants or different types of coatings on the leaves.
