Question: What temperature does the vegetation decrease most?

Background Information: 
http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/weather/tempeffect-plants.html

Hypothesis: If I continue to take data of the amount of green vegetation until winter, then the amount of vegetation will decrease because the lower temperature and less amount of daylight causes less/slower photosynthesis which leads to slower growth of the vegetation.

Materials 
- camera
- vegetation 
- laptop
- adobe photoshop 
-bright colored string

Controlled Variables:
 - same camera
 - same location of pictures
 - same person taking the pictures
 - same angle of picture taken
 - same vegetation

  

Procedure: 
Step 1: Go out into a highly vegetated area (not only grass) and bring bright colored string. 

Step 2: Find three different areas in which you can take a picture. 

Step 3: Mark each area by tying a bright colored string to the place in which you will be standing to take the picture. 

Step 4: Take a picture of each area. 

Step 5: Save the photos to your laptop. 

Step 6: Put the photos into Adobe Photoshop and create a grid on top of them by going to View<Grid<Show. 

Step 7: Annualize the photo to see what percentage of the photo has vegetation in it by seeing how many squares have green in them. 
Step 8: Continue steps 1-7 with all three photos.
