Which liquid makes the plant grow faster?

By: Mandi GrifolCategory: Biology

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM!

Will the plant grow faster with Water, Fanta, or Coke?

HYPOTHESIS!

The Fanta will make the plant grow faster because it has the most sugar.

VARIABLES!

Independent- Water, Coke, and Fanta

Dependent- How fast it grows by measuring the leaves

Constants- Plant, same window, same amount of liquid poured, same amount of sunlight, and same amount of soil .

CONTROL GROUP!

The control group is the plant that has the water.

MATERIALS! 3 seeds for

each cup 9 cups 1 liter of

water 1 liter of

Fanta

1 liter of Coke Window 1 cup of soil for

each cup Measuring cup

PROCEDURE Gather Materials Set up area for experiment Label the first three groups of cups 1 water, 1 Coke, and

1 Fanta Label the second three groups of cups 2 water, 2 Coke,

and 2 Fanta Label the third three groups of cups 3 water, 3 Coke, and

3 Fanta Fill each cup with half a cup of soil Put three seeds in each cup Pour a 1\4 of a cup of water into the water cups Pour a 1\4 of a cup of Coke in the Coke cups Pour a 1\4 of a cup of Fanta in the Fanta cups Wait for the results of how many leaves they grow and

record data.

CONCLUSION

Well I tested the plant for 5 days, and it didn’t grow once. My hypothesis was wrong, and would be wrong is I would have picked any other liquid because none of my plants grew. Next time I want to improve by maybe extending the days to about 10 and maybe put it in a different spot because it might have gotten to much sunlight.
