Aim: To look at the different growing conditions and how these affect the growth of the seeds.
Method:
- We worked in groups of 3-4 students
- Potting mix was put into the cups.
- The cups were planted with bean seeds
- Each cup had a different growing condition:
- Cup 1-normal
- Cup 2-red cellophane
- Cup 3-overwatered
- Cup 4-underwatered or green cellophane or blue cellophane
The plants grew in their cups for 10 days before they were measured.
Findings:
Plant growing condition
|
Height after 10 days (mm)
|
Normal
| 76mm |
Blue cellophane
| 24mm |
Red cellophane
| 80mm |
Overwater
Clear
| 38mm 59mm |
The normal seedling was planted in a normal potting mix and grew to a height of ___76______mm.
The green cellophane seedling was planted in a normal potting mix, covered in Blue cellophane and watered. It grew to a height of ____24____mm. The red cellophane seedling was planted in the normal potting mix to a height of _______80____mm. The overwatered seddling was planted in a normal potting mix, the water could not drain out the bottom of the pot and it grew to a height of __38____mm.
Conclusion:
From the pictures and evidence we can conclude that:
The seedling height was:
1.76mm
2.80mm
3.38mm
4.24mm
The best growing conditions were:
1.Red
2.Normal
3.Clear
4.Overwatered
therefore the seedling with the best conditions grew to a height of 80 mm.
