Hi Volleyballchica13,

Here are a couple of background articles that might help you. Both of these are published scientific references, but the language is not too technical and I think will give you ideas for your write up.

The first article describes an experiment and shows how to measure results for this type of experiment.

The second article includes some discussion about the problems/benefits of exposing plants to wind.

It sounds like you are already doing your experiment. Please let us know if you need more information, or have any questions about writing up your results.
