February 2013 I. Introduction
This is an experiment concerning the effects of water temperature on the growth of plants. 2.1 Background of the Study
This is an investigation on the different reactions of the same plants with regard to the different temperatures of the water used in watering plants and its effect on its growth. The investigator wishes to know if there is a direct or determining factor regarding the extreme difference of temperatures of water used in watering plants whether it helps or stunts the growth of plants. 2.2 Statement of Problems/Objectives
Does the temperature of the water affect the growth of the plant? 2.3.1 General Objective
To know if the different temperatures of the water affect the

    The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors like light intensity, light wavelength, and temperature. This experiment will test the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in a plant called Elodea. Elodea is an easy plant to use for this experiment because it is cheap, abundant, and easy to take care of. This photosynthetic organism needs to be kept in an aerated freshwater tank. To do this experiment, put the Elodea in a beaker of freshwater. Anchor the Elodea using a small weight like a paperclip so that the plant remains in the same position and up right through the entire experiment. Place the beaker of water containing the Elodea in front of a light bulb. In between the beaker and the light bulb, there should be a separate beaker of water that is used to absorb any heat produced by the light. This way the experiment will not be affected by another environmental factor, temperature. Every thirty seconds for five minutes, count the number of bubbles given off by the Elodea. After the first five minutes, move the beaker containing the Elodea about ten centimeters back and let it stand for two minutes so that it can adjust to the new intensity of the light. Count the bubbles released every thirty seconds for five minutes. Move the Elodea back ten more centimeters, let it adjust for two more minutes, then count the number of bubbles…

    In the article “Competition between Chara aspera and Potamogeton pectinatus as a function of temperature and light” by authors Marcel S. Van den Berg, Hugo Coop, Jan Simons and Annemarie de Keizer, it was theorized that one type of aquatic plant may be a better competitor for sunlight than another plant that is more of a bottom dweller. They argue that “P. pectinatus and C. aspera have different growth forms and the canopy forming P. pectinatus may be a better competitor for light than the bottom-covering C.aspera.” to support this first argument. In addition they also put forth a second argument in that the bottom dwelling aquatic plant may, in the long run, be a better competitor in clear water as it may be better able to use sunlight in a more efficient manner and also due to its faster emergence in the annual life cycle of both plants, “The latter however, might be able to survive in clear water due to a more efficient use of light. Because both species have an annual life cycle, P. pectinatus might be outcompeted for light or space in Lake Veluwemeer due to the emergence of C. aspera earlier in the year.” The scientific team certainly does make a valiant effort to prove that this hypothesis is true and it can be deduced that the authors took great time in conceptualizing, realizing and working through the experiment and prove this for the most part but it does fall short in some areas.…

    The objective of this investigation was to determine the effect of one specific environmental condition on the rate of transpiration in plants. This particular investigation looked at the number of leaves in a plant and how it would affect the rate of transpiration in plants. The aim of this investigation was to find out if the larger the number of leaves a plant had, the higher the rate of transpiration would be.…

    Since watering is so important to growing plants, changing the water that is given to plants can have an effect on a plants growth. In general, watering with different liquids has been bad for plants and has damaged their growth. For instance, adding salt or sugar to plants can change the growth of a plant.…

    From our data, we noticed that the temperature had an effect on the germinated Pisum sativum seeds. As the temperature increased, the rate of cellular respiration was doubled. At 45 degrees, the rate still increased, but it just barely increased. In the Zophobus morio we noticed that the rate increased from 10 degrees to 20 degrees. It then began to decrease as we continued to raise the temperature of the water. We got a negative amount for the 45-degree test of the experiment.…
