We ask the question: does milk make pumpkins grow bigger? We make the hypothesis that it does, and predict that watering pumpkins with milk will make them grow bigger, compared to those that aren't watered with milk. We take a sample of pumpkins (at least 30 or so) and water them normally, and another sample (also 30 or so) and water them with milk. After the pumpkins are grown, we collect them and measure their weight, and perform statistical analysis to see if there is any significant difference between pumpkins that are watered normally and those that are watered with milk.
