Analysis: From the graphs and data above, the only similar trend that all the plants shared in common was inconsistent growth. Clearly none of the plants shrunk or died, but there were some that didn’t grow at all and majority of the plants grew. The tallest plants ranged from about 15 cm to 20 cm; from my observations there are always two tallest plants from different boxes that are very close in height at the end of the 11 days. For the plants in trial 1, majority of them had a growth spurt on the last day as can be seen in the line graph where many of the lines become steeper. For the plants in trial 2, the data was slightly more inconsistent, but most plants seemed to grow more during the 9th and 10th day of the experiment. For the plants …show more content…
This caused some plants in certain boxes to have a build up of water making it difficult to water all the plants equally when some didn’t need any water while others needed a to be watered. This could have been prevented by watering each plant at the same time every single day, but due to my schedule this became difficult and wasn’t achieved. This error could also be one of the reasons why some of the seeds did not germinate as they could have had too much water. Another error on my part would include not measuring and leveling the dirt out very accurately; since the seeds were not all perfectly placed in all the exact same positions some may have had a longer distance to grow out of the dirt while others a shorter. In addition, when water was poured onto each plant if there was less dirt in the center all the water would flow into the center; this would result in over watering the center seed and underwatering the other 3 seeds. Leveling out the soil before planting could easily fix this error and create a more controlled

Fastest Marigold Flower Research Paper

germinate the fastest and grow the tallest Marigold flower? In Macer’s Herbal, a manuscript on the healing properties of plants, marigolds were said to draw evil humours out of the head and strengthen the eyesight. I wanted to do this experiment to help current and future gardeners make the right light source choice in order to grow the tallest Marigold flower. In photosynthesis, light is a very important source of energy used by plants. Marigold flowers are an easy to grow flower with a variety of…

which enhance plant growth, number of leaves and color. The main purpose of this experiment was to explore the possibilities of Nitrogen presence on plant growth. Over a period of 4 weeks, the pinto bean plants were under experiment with different measurement of Nitrogen. It was added once a week and also was added by distilled water. The plants were watered 3 times a week (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday). The data was collected every Monday. The collected data were basically on plant height, number…

LaBerge April 18th, 2013 Sayani Millick 512 The goal of our experiment was to test whether or not adding fertilizer to plants improved growth and to what extent, if any, did it improve growth. The project consisted of 5 control zinnia plants that would be watered regularly and no fertilizer was to be added to these plants. The 5 experimental plants would be watered at the same time and amount as the control but Miracle Grow fertilizer was added to the water. After the allotted experimental…

Essay about Is There a Significant Difference in Height of Bracken (Pteridium Aquilinum) from a Light Area and a Dark Area?

From my research it was clear that the height of Bracken is affected by abiotic factors, other than light intensity, such as: soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature and soil pH so I had to control these factors. I carried out preliminary experiments to find a suitable site where all these factors where constant. For my actual investigation I measure…
