Radish Plant Investigation
Results
The above results show the data collected after a week of measuring the biggest plant per bag. Each day the biggest radish plant in site A was measured and by day five the largest plant was 5 centimeters long, and had developed small green leaves. By the 5th day site B and D’s seeds showed no signs of growing and length remained at 0 centimeters. Site C and D’s superior seed both grew a total of 3 centimeters according to the 5th day measurements. Both the graph and table display the same results. The plants were measured with a ruler and then written into the table.
Conclusions
Site A is the control group because it is located farther up Nelson River than the other four test sites and the radish crops grew. Since the Salt storage …show more content…
Plant growth showed that a leak in the Salt Storage Facility was the cause of the crop failure. So water quality was an issue, because of the high levels of salt concentration.
During the experiment, data was accurately measured and recorded. Though improvements could have been made that experiment was still a success. Location of the ziplock bag sites was moved from direct sunlight on a window to minimal sunlight on a wall. If location had stays the same throughout then the data may have been slightly different. Although this would only have a slight effect on data, movement of the seeds in the bag moved by fingers. That may have stunted the growth of the seeds, Causing them to grow little if at all.
In this experiment the independent variable was the type of water put onto the seeds. Being water from site A, site B, site C, site D, and site E. The dependent variable was the growth of the radish seeds. Site A was the control for this experiment. It was the control because the water the plants received was not affected by the salt storage facility leak. Site A was the site without any salt going into the radish crops. The constants in this experiment were the weather, amount of water, size of paper towel, zip lock bag, and type of
