Sugar Water Vs Tap Water Research

Our data recorded shows that the germinating peas did consume more oxygen than the non-germinating or the glass beads alone and that the cooler temperature did slow down the consumption of oxygen in the germinating peas. In both water baths the atmospheric pressure seemed to increase causing our reading to raise in our glass beads and non-germinating peas. This direct relationship in reading leads us to believe that the oxygen consumption in the non-germinating peas was minimal if any at all.

After all kidney beans (36 per tray) are settled in the tray, cover one starter tray with opaque aluminum foil and the other with the transparent plastic wrap. Attach clothespins to the side of the large plastic tray to support the covering. Make sure that both trays have access to adequate air supply. After you are sure that you covered everything properly put both your seed trays beneath fluorescent lights for one week. Make sure that the room temperature doesn’t fluctuate a lot (should be around 23 degree C – 24 degree C).

Hypothesis: I think that the gummy bear in the water solution will grow the most. The gatoraid will grow the least because it has the most sugar. And the orange Switch will be in the middle.

This science fair project was performed to find out the effect on plant growth of adding caffeine to the soil. The experiment was done by using mung bean plants and watering them daily with water, water mixed with caffeine and with a coffee mixture.

While experimenting with the green beans, the seeds exposed to the organic plant food germinated within five days of the experiment and the seeds exposed to the chemical plant food germinated within six. The seeds that acted as the control had been expected to grow the least, however, it was surprising that they did not grow at all. Both the chemical and organic fertilizers proved to have positive results on the plants. It was also unexpected when the seeds exposed to the chemical plant food surpassed the height of the other experimental seeds after being shorter. The predicted reason for the increase in growth with seeds given Miracle Grow was because chemical fertilizers automatically store up the nutrients and disperse it constantly throughout

Out of all the nutrients tested, the pinto beans that grew with liquid fish fertilizer showed the highest growth rate, growing up to 12.5 inches tall. The plant growing with liquid kelp fertilizer grew up to 10 inches tall, and the plant growing with only water grew 9 inches tall. The pinto beans grown with fertilizer grew faster and taller compared to the one grown without any fertilizer. They grew two to three inches taller than the pinto

The third step that was taken was germinating the seeds. Two sets of paper towels were used to germinate the

Osmosis is defined as the tendency of water to flow through a semipermeable membrane to the side with a lower solute concentration. Water potential can be explained by solutes in a solution. The more positive a number is more likely it will lose water. Therefore should water potential be negative the cell the less likely it will lose water. In using potatoes the effects of the molarity of sucrose on the turgidity of plant cells. According to Clemson University, the average molarity of a White potato is between .24 M and .31 M when submerged in a sorbitol solution. This experiment was conducted with the purpose of explaining the relationship found between the mass in plants when put into varying concentrations of sucrose solutions. Should the potatoes be placed in a solution that contains 0.2M or .4M of sucrose solution it will be hypotonic and gain mass or if placed in .6M< it will be hypertonic and lose mass instead. Controlled Variables in this lab were: Composition of plastic cups, Brand of Russet Potatoes, Brand of Sweet Potatoes and the Temperature of the room. For independent variable that caused the results recorded it was the different Sucrose concentrations (0.0M, 0.2M, 0.4M, 0.6M, 0.8M, 1M). The dependent variable was the percentage change from the initial weighs to the final. The cup with .4 molarity was the closest to an isotonic solution and was used as the control group for the lab. Water potential is the free energy per mole of water. It is

We conducted this experiment 5 times and had the same result every time the Jumping Bean did not jump at all. We graphed both tests on a graph to better compare the differences. As we analyzed the results of our experimentation we discovered that when the temperature was dropped the bean stopped jumping and seemed to go dormant which proved that our predictions were correct after examining the

A little planning is needed for this recipe if you are using dried beans as they need

In this study, Plant A, which received twenty-four hours of artificial light every day, will reach the maximum height amongst all plants. Due to the maximum access of light, Plant A will therefore have the most access to energy, which is a vital source of food to the bean plant. With more energy available to the plant, photosynthesis can provide an abundance of food availability which will cause the plant to thrive more successfully.

Analysis: When evaluating the result from this investigation it is evident that the sugar light is the most effective mix, based on the aspect of the plants grown by them. The Prediction in the hypothesis was correct as the plant that grew the largest amount was the plant with both sugar and light, however the statement that light was more valuable than sugar was shown to be incorrect. The first prediction was clearly correct, as it can clearly be seen by comparing table (t, 1) and table (T, 6) that the plant with sugar and light grew on average by .53cm in height while the one with only sugar lost on average 1.66 cm in height, the plant with just light lost on average .33cm in height and the plant with no sugar and no light grew only 2 cm in height. The factor of the amount of roots that grew completely support the hypothesis as the roots of the plant that had sunlight and sugar, as can clearly be seen by comparing (t, 1) and (t, 6) went up by 5 roots while the plant with only sugar on average gained .66 roots, the plant with just light on average only gained 2.66 roots and the plant with no sugar and no light on average gained 2 roots.

The results were kind of shocking. The plants that was receiving microwaved water did much better compared to the plants that received tap water or boiled water. Than I thought. On average the plants that got microwaved water grew to 8.67 inches. On average the plants that got boiled water grew to 5.5 inches. On average the plants that got tap water grew to 9.7 inches. My result was that the plants that received tap water grew the tallest, the plants that received micro waved water grew the 2nd tallest, then the plants that received boiled water grew the 3rd

There is also two ways for the berries to be processed. The first way is called the dry method. The berries are spread out on something and dried in the sun. To prevent spoiling the beans are mixed daily. The beans are covered at night and when it rains to keep them dry. This process can take up to 7 weeks. The second way is the wet method. The pulp and skin are first separated from the bean. They are then separated by weight and size. After this they put in water fermentation tanks to get the beans’ slick layer off. The beans can be in the water for anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. The beans are ready to be dried. They can do like method 1 and be dried and turns regularly in the sun or in machines called tumblers. Finally, after the milling of the beans, they are ready to be bagged and exported to their destinations.

The water schedule remained consistent throughout the experiment. Water was applied to the plants via drip irrigation for one hour a day, three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).
