I will use the common Ivy called Hedera helix. I will take two stems of Ivy, one from the part of the garden that is exposed to lots of light, and one which exposed to little light.

Although the Ivy leaves are facing different directions they are still from the same soil system. I will take 15 leaves from each stem and draw around them onto squared paper. By doing this I will be able to calculate their area. I will then compare the average size of...
