Plant Growth Report
Hypothesis
If sunflowers are continuously watered with liquids such as Coffee, Gatorade, Coca Cola, and 1.0 M Baking Soda, then plant growth will increase because of the added nutrients.
Materials
10 Pots
10 Sun Flower Seeds
Miracle Grow Potting Mix
Gatorade “Red”
Coca Cola
1.0M Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
Maxwell House Original Roast Coffee
Tap Water
Procedures
Fill 10 pots with the same amount of Miracle Grow potting mix
Plant 1 sunflower seed in each pot, 10 total
Label the 10 pots into 5 groups of 2
Label group 1, “Control, water only”
Label group 2, “Gatorade”
Label group 3, “Coca Cola”
Label group 4, “1.0 M Baking Soda”
Label group 5, “Coffee”
Group 1, each plant will receive 60mL of water 3 times each week
Group 2, each plant will receive 30mL of water and 30mL of Gatorade 3 times each week
Group 3, each plant will receive 30mL of water and 30mL of Coca Cola 3 times each week
Group 4, each plant will receive 30mL of water and 30mL of 1.0 M Baking Soda 3 times each week
Group 5, each plant will receive 30mL of water and 30mL of regular black coffee 3 times each week
The plant height, stalk circumference, and leaf length will be measured once per week and the results will be listed in the “Plant Growth” table.
