Sammie, Elijah, Emlyn

Abstract

Hypothesis - The amount of water and dirt affectthe hight of the Camomile plant.

Overveiw -  In this experiment we tested if the amount of dirt to water affected how much our plant grew. 

Methods & Materials

•    15 plastic cups

•    26 radish seeds

•    Tap water

•     450mL of dirt

•    3 rulers

1)     Gather materials.

2)     Using the scissors cut out drainage holes in the cups.  

3)     Label cups 2 for water and 2 for dirt.

4)     Layout 4 plastic cups on windowsill.  

5)     Put 225mLof dirt in the 2 dirt cups.

6)     Put 50ml of dirt in the 2 cups you labeled water.

7)     In the 2 cups you labeled water put 225mL of water in to them.

8)     Count out 2 radish seeds for every cup.

9)     Put each seed in there cup.

10)     Sprinkle 50mL of water onto the dirt cups.

11)     Repeat step 10 and 7 every 3 days.

12)     Use ruler to measure the plants every time you water it.

13)     Record data. 

14)     At the end of experiment share data with group.

Results 

Water to Dirt Ratio Affects the Height of Plant 

                         (average)

Lessons Learned

• Plants need nutrience from the soil so that it can grow
• when you try to grow a plant in water with a little bit of water it does not grow
