The Effect of Gasoline Fumes on plants Introduction: This science fair project was conducted to study the effect of gasoline fumes on plants. The testing was done by placing plants beside a gasoline-filled container for different periods of time and temperatures. Hypothesis: Gasoline fumes cause plants to die - the longer the exposure to the fumes‚ the quicker the plants will die. Our second hypothesis is that exposure to fumes‚ at higher environmental temperatures‚ will result in quicker

the effect of gasoline fumes on bean plant growth? Hypothesis: If the bean plants are exposed in the presence of gasoline fumes for a longer period of time‚ then the plants will die more quickly. Procedures: 1. Place ten bean plants in each of five Rubbermaid clear plastic containers. 2. Let the bean plants sit for one week without being manipulated. 3. Leave the first container alone without manipulation. 4. Expose the second container to gasoline fumes for a fifteen minute

the same apply to plants? The goal of this biology project is to examine the effect of caffeine on plant growth. Caffeine comes from a plant so it would seem that it could help plant growth. A plausible prediction is caffeine will support plant growth by providing a source of nitrogen or carbon dioxide through its the catabolic breakdown. Could the use of caffeine aid in accelerating and benefit the plant growth? Method To test our hypothesis‚ we set

How the Amount of Water Effects Plant Growth By Dennis Marchuk Turner Ashby High School Grade 10 March 23‚ 2013 The purpose of this project was to determine how much the amount of water effected plant growth. This had been accomplished by taking three groups of plants and placing them next to one another. Each group contains two plants. Each one would be watered with a different amount of water. They would then be measured how much they grew. The growth of the three plants was compared

music possesses properties that affect the growth rate of plants in different ways. These properties may be the wavelength of the music‚ its frequency or even its tempo. According to a study conducted by Margaret E. Collins and John E. K. Foreman‚ entitled The Effect of Sound on the growth rate of plants (2001)‚ plants growth is directly affected by sounds of varying frequencies. They observed that when plants are exposed to pure tones‚ it affects the growth of the plant. This was due to the transverse

SCIENCE HOW DOES COLOUR AFFECT PLANT GROWTH? AIM To find out if colour affects plant growth‚ and if plants are adaptable to the colour of light‚ and how much light it gets. INTRODUCTION For this Science assignment‚ I chose to find out if the colour and amount of light a plant receives‚ affects plant growth. Light is electromagnetic radiation that comes in waves‚ the basic units of which are called photons. Plants use light to turn carbon dioxide into sugars necessary for growth‚ a process called

Introduction to How Gas Prices Work Image Gallery: Hybrid Cars Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images High gas prices can make you stop and think about your commute. See hybrid car pictures to see models that save you money.In May 2008‚ average gas prices in the United States approached‚ and in some places passed‚ $4.00 a gallon‚ shattering records. But this was nothing new to American consumers. May was a month of records that broke one after another‚ and that came on the heels of months of

testing if phototropism affects pea plants. The purpose of this is to see how much the growth of the plant is affected by sunlight. Many years ago the scientist Charles Darwin discovered what today we called phototropism. I intend to create my own small experiment except this time I will be using artificial light instead of natural light (the sun). The definition of tropism is "a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction from which the stimulus strikes the plant" and "photo" means

How do volcanoes affect people and environments? Each year there are approximately 50-70 volcanoes that erupt. Those volcanoes affect the people and environments in many different ways. According to the article “How many active volcanoes are there? (Tom Simkin and Lee Siebert) there are about 20 volcanoes erupting right now. Volcanoes can affect people and environments in many uncounted ways. One important thing that can affect the environment is that the volcanic soils help the environment in
