Millet Water Experiment
Effect of all-natural bath and body wash on millet seed growth.
This experiment was conducted to determine what effect a household chemical would have on the growth of a plant. Everyday multitudes of chemicals are washed down the drains inside of our homes; many of these same chemicals are then being introduced into the environment through our water sources, such as rivers. This experiment will test the effect of all-natural bath and shower gel would have on the growth cycle of millet seeds. The all-natural bath and shower gel is reported to be chemical free or environmentally friendly product, but it could just be an example of greenwashing and actually doing just as much harm to the environment when it is washed down the drain.

The purpose of this experiment was to see how the seedlings react in order to determine possible effects of this “chemical free” product on the environment. Upon completion of the experiment it was determined that the pollutants did not have a detrimental effect on the millet seeds. The findings indicated that control group and the 5% group showed signs of the most decay within the petri dishes. Both of the millet seed groups, which showed the most decay were the two closest to the heater and the window; this indicates a variable that should have considered this prior to the start of the experiment such as the warmth of the room where the seeds were located and the amount of indirect sunlight

    This experiment was performed to determine the role of phytochrome in lettuce seed germination. In order to conduct this experiment three different types of Grand Rapids lettuce seeds were chosen: Waldmann, Concept, and Two Star. Each of these seeds were exposed to the following regulated courses of light exposure for ten minutes after they had imbibed for five minutes: Red, White, Far Red, and Darkness. It was hypothesized that the seeds would germinate in both red and white light, but germination would not take place under far red light or darkness. The results were that exposure to the white light produced the highest percentage of germination rates in the Waldermann variety of lettuce seed followed by exposure to the red light. Neither the concept nor the two star lettuce seed germinated. As suspected, the seeds that were exposed to darkness produced the percentage of germination. The far red light also failed to produce any germination in the Waldermann…

    We experienced a number of errors in our experiment. Sources of error were human interaction, inaccurate measurements, and incorrectly handling the seeds and materials. In the future, these problems can be avoided by interfering with the plastic bags that contained the seeds, adding the most accurate amount of solute as possible, or making sure that we don’t crush the seeds or the towel that was inserted in the bag. Ideas for future experimentation would be to plant the seeds outside so that the sun would be used as the…

    Allelopathy Lab Report

    • 4 Pages

    The purpose of this lab was to observe the effects of chemical warfare among plants. Plant seeds compete with other plants and seeds, for sunlight, and nutrients in order to germinate. In order to win dominance over other seeds, and reduce competition, plants produce and release a chemical in order to prevent other seeds from germination. This type of chemical warfare is referred to as allelopathy. Allelopathy exists in many parts of the plants such as leaves, roots, stems, or fruits, but not limited to just the plants. These toxic chemicals can also be found in the surrounding soil, to prevent other plants or seeds from absorbing proper nutrients to stimulate growth. Groups will test…
