Title: Affect of atmospheric conditions on the rate of growth of plants
SUMMARY:
The components of growing good plants are the soil and the environment under which it grows so as to have a comparative study of the impacts of various factors contributing to the growth of plants at the same phase of life, three different scenarios, i.e., environments under which they can be cultivated is taken as an experimental study. Our project is basically upon cultivation of plants under different surroundings and to measure the growth and to observe the changes in the growth from time of its plantation. We have planted around 120 tomato plants inside the green house and we have placed a thermometer to know the temperature at which they grow the best. There is a water supply channel which supplies water at regular interval of time to plants. We have grown 5-6- plants outside green house in the pots and some in the soil, to observe their growth under direct sunlight and to test in what type of soil it grows the best i.e., to its maximum height. We have undertaken various steps to ensure their proper growth by dividing ourselves into groups of two members and watering the plants regularly, adding vermin-compost as manure and regularly recording the growth in terms of height. Till date we have observed that the plants under green house have shown the best growth and the ones on the soil have shown less growth in

    2. Five variables that should be controlled during the experiment is the amount of sunlight, room temperature, amount of water, the time of day the plant is watered and the certain type of plant. To make sure the plants get the same amount of sunlight, make sure to put them both in the same spot so that one plant doesn’t get more sunlight than the other. To make sure they both stay in the same room temperature, put them both in the same room. With the amount of water come up with a measurement, and then make sure you give both plants that amount. Pick out a time of day for the plants to get watered make sure you water one earlier than the other since it is part of your hypothesis that they grow faster when watered in the morning. Finally, make sure that…

    This investigation was designed to compare the height of Pteridium aquilinum in a light area and a dark area of Rushy Plains, Epping Forest and to establish if light intensity does have an effect on the growth of Pteridium aquilinum, commonly known as Bracken. From my research it was clear that the height of Bracken is affected by abiotic factors, other than light intensity, such as: soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature and soil pH so I had to control these factors. I carried out preliminary experiments to find a suitable site where all these factors where constant. For my actual investigation I measure twelve random Brackens from both light and dark areas. I then carried out a Mann Whitney U test and concluded, with 95% significance level, that there is in fact a difference between height of Brackens from a light area and a dark area.…

    In completing the Tomato Plant experiment I had to apply the scientific method. I observed that my tomato plants were producing less fruit each year. I then questioned some of the elements that may have affected the tomato plants and caused them to bear fewer tomatoes being a deficiency in warmth, water, or nutrients. I then selected my hypotheses that the plants were in need of more nutrients. Following my hypothesis I developed my prediction which was that my plants would bear more tomatoes if I was to replace the old soil with new soil before planting. I then concluded, based off of the graph depicting the number of tomatoes per plant, that my hypothesis was supported because; my predication was accurate and the plants grew more tomatoes after I had replaced the soil.…

    The term “American” has always been loved and hated by every country in the world. Foreigners that legally immigrate to the United States need to have a reason. Do immigrants do so because they want a better life for their families, a place that you don’t have to worry about bombs exploding, or if you speak up you put your life at risk? Being an American means that you want to practice and protect freedom because the conditions of their immigrating match our fore fathers reasons.…

    For this experiment, we set out to find if density and time had an effect on growth of mung bean plants. We decided to test evidence of growth by measuring plant biomass. We measured the biomass each week for four weeks of plants grown at different densities. We found that density had an overall effect on plant growth, but density only had an effect after the first two weeks of growth.…

    In this experiment I will be testing if plants grow better in water than in soil. I will need plants, water, soil, and tags. I am going to identify each plant with tags so I can know what are the plants with water and with soil. I will separate them in different containers, to know what are the ones with water and soil. If the plants grow better in the water then we know we don’t have to buy soil for plants. Its more economic for you if the plant grows in water cause the water can be found any were you go and its free.…
