Welter-Weight of plant growing: Water VS other liquids
Purpose of Project The purpose of this project is to see if there is a difference in how plants grow based on what they are watered with. By watering five different plants with five different liquids and measuring them daily we will prove or disprove the hypothesis.
Problem of the Project Different liquids contain different additives and nutrients that could potentially affect the growth of a plant. This project will reveal how different liquids affect the growth of plants. Various research has been done that will support the problem of what liquid can stimulate the growth of a plant more successfully. By measuring each plant after watering them with the six liquids, the

The water container had the most growth and produced two plants – one on day 7 and one on day 8 which indicated both seeds had germinated. Each plant produced one leaf (both on day 10). The leaves were light green in color and had a firm texture.
The milk container was the only other container that had any growth at all. On day 11, one sprout appeared and curled up from the soil; however, the stem never emerged and by day 13, it had died. No other pot produced a plant.

Data Analysis:
Given the information, the only liquid good for the bean seeds was the water. Plant growth – day 11 The major result of this experiment was that water was the only liquid that would produce a bean plant. Milk did germinate a seed, but was unable to support the growth of the plant. No other liquids used in the experiment produced a bean sprout.
Research Conclusion:
In the hypothesis, the purpose of the experiment was to discover a liquid that provided the best plant growth. When the experiment started, it was hypothesized there would
The experiment was begun by obtaining four 8 oz. Styrofoam cups and punching a hole through the bottom of them. This hole was for water entry or excess water drainage. Moistened soil was packed to the 1/2 full line in the cup along with 3 fertilizer pellets The cups were labeled the following: Rosette-H20, Rosette-GA, Wild-Type-H2O, and Wild-type- GA.(Handout 1) A small wooden applicator stick was obtained a moistened at the tip with water from the petri dish labeled ‘water.’ This was to be able to attract the seed to the applicator in order to place the seed from its original container into
We took two pots and filled soil in each of them. Then we planted twelve seeds of wheat. During this process, the sowing distance (spacing) between the seeds must be present. The plants required careful supervision to ensure careful controlled variables. Therefore, we decided that one of us will take the plant home. To water the plant we used a misting bottle that was used to spray equal amount of water in both experimental and control group in starting days meaning the first day until the fourth day. After the fourth day, the control group was watered every day and experimental group every two days. Before the plants were watered the moisture content was determined by touching by fingers. (If the soil was moist than usual, meaning more water was present in the soil, the plant would not receive any additional watering. However, due to the perfect weather conditions, this was never required. The experiment was followed as planned). For optimal growth of both plants, they were kept in direct sunlight and were placed in the following direction, 110 degrees east. After one month, the plant 's height was
After one week: - Open the wraps from the tray and count the number of seeds that are germinated in both trays. Write your observation
Conclusion: I decided to record 4 days of the experiment (for time reasons) and base observations off of the results I viewed during those four days to help me determine what the outcome would be in a week’s time. The results I found were that it took three days to notice the beginning of bean germination when the beans were placed outside in the sunlight, and 4 days to notice a little stem when the beans were placed in room temperature in sunlight. Throughout the four-day
All the plants, except the one in Epsom salt, are fully green and show excellent growth. They each have two big green leaves on their stem, and the plant in liquid fish fertilizer still has a piece of its seed coating stuck on its leaves. The plant in Epsom salt however, shows no growth at all.
The second step of the experiment was to soak the seeds in water overnight. This action was made to prepare the seeds for germination and making them more softer and less rigid. The seeds were placed in a bowl and were covered by tin foil. It was set up on the refrigerator to minimize any outside interference that may come to it. After a full night of absorbing the water, the seeds were ready to start the next stage.
In this project I will try to find out if the plants will grow better normally or in the aerogarden. I will see how the aerogarden affects the plant growth. I will plant strawberries in both of the systems and see which plants grow faster. I will record the growth every single week. Then I will put it on my project.
The appropriate tools were used when measuring the growth of each plant. Every second day, the plants that had germinated were measured with a centimetre ruler, ensuring that each measurement was exact. The plants were consistently measured every two days and watered on those same days. During this experiment, all variables were kept consistent and all possible errors were avoided in order to keep the experiment fair and valid. The only variable that was even slightly altered was the location of the plant.
Day 1~ The soil is moist and there is tree bark on top of the
For the plant with five tablets, the mass gain was 10.85 grams. The plant with ten tablets, the mass increase was 38.55 grams. The line of best fit for the first set of data was y= 2.3789 x + 5.9899. The line of best fit for the second set of data was y= 3.959 x +0.1009. The line of best fit for this average was y= 3.1689 x +2.9445. A possible factor that could not be controlled, was the fact that the water may have become acidic due to the alka seltzer tablets, thus affecting the growth of the plant. However, this would only have impacted the growth, not the mass of the plant. Since this experiment was just focusing on the mass, the actual growth of the plant was not as
In this lab I found out about plants and how germination cycles. In the pine cone it was seen that water was utilized as a specialist to impact the seed into being discharged. In the second part of the lab the celery was utilized to show how water is transported all through a plant and this gave a more visual representation about how water voyages. This lab demonstrated how diverse plants and trees, for example, the redwoods utilize ecological components to help in their own particular germination forms and these components can really act to discharge the seeds. This lab indicated many of the ways that plants partake in procedures which help their life cycle and generation.
My hypothesis where wrong, I assumed that the outside bag would have germinated with the best results being in direct sunlight and outside air. I believe that the low temperature outside had a big part in playing with my results, maybe if the experiment was done during the summer months I would have had different results.
The results did not support the hypothesis. The germination data showed an upward trend over the course of the experiment. The quickest rate of germination was Dish 5 (25 ml) as it only took one day to germinate and all six seeds had germinated.
Since many of the plants followed this pattern, the trend between their mount and growth will be calculated using negative numbers for the plants that went down in weight. The plants that were grown in wood’s average growth in weight was -0.363 grams and their growth in leaf length was -0.05 centimeters. For the plants grown in stones, the average growth in weight was approximately -0.327 grams while the average growth in leaf length was 0 centimeters. Lastly, the average weight growth for the control group in a plant hanger was -0.202 grams and their leaf growth was 0 centimeters. Plants 3 (grown in wood) and 4 (grown in stones) exhibited the largest decrease in weight, losing 0.633 and .607 grams from the first to 36th day. The plants with the least decrease in weight were plants 5 (grown in stones) and 7 (control group), with a loss of 0.145 grams and 0.139 centimeters, respectively. Only three plants increased in their leaf length; plants 1 (grown in wood), 6 (grown in stones), and 7 (control group). Both plants 1 and 6 increases in height by 0.1 centimeters, while plant 7 increased by 0.2
Flowers absorb liquid through their roots, which are attached to xylem vessels. Xylem vessels are tubes that can expand through several feet of tissue and be .7mm in diameter. Their walls are thickened with cellulose deposits. Xylem bring water up to the leaves and petals of the plant. Even without contact with the roots, the xylem can still absorb water. Because of this, a cut flower usually doesn’t die for a couple days (as long as it is placed in water of course).
