I thought that if we poured vinegar and salt water on a

plant then it would die. I also thought that if we

poured sugar water and milk on a plant then it

would grow better.

How would using other liquids instead of water affect plant growth?

Materials:Water, Five small plants of about equal height, sucrose (table sugar), sodium chloride (table salt), vinegar, and measuring cups.PROCEDURE:1. Find a good place to put the plants. Put them there. Label plants by the solution they will be given. (Water, sugar water, salt water, vinegar water, and milk.)2.Take height measurements and record status of plants.3. Pour solutions into plants. (Recipes—sugar water- 1 tsp of sugar + 1 cup of water salt water- 1 tsp of salt + 1 cup of water vinegar water- ¼ a cup of vinegar + ¼ a cup of water milk- ½ milk)4. Repeat step 2 every day possible. Repeat step 3 every other day or as possible. Perform the experiment as long as you want or until all but one of the plants dies. You can keep that last plant.

In the end, only the plant being given water survived. Milk may have survived if maggots didn’t attack the innocent thing, but we didn’t get to see what happened. Perhaps we could use the results of this experiment and apply what we have learned to human nutrition. Water is good, Vinegar is deadly, too much sugar and salt is a bad thing, milk spoils, and spoiled milk ruins you.

QuestionAnswers

1. Uncontrolled variables affected the results because they affected how the plants grew.2. Independent: The watering solutions Dependent: The growth of the plants.3. I would use more plants next time for each watering solution.4. It helps people learn which chemicals are best for growing plants.5. The maggots attacked the milk plant and we couldn’t see how it would grow entirely.6. See conclusion. (This was copied from the lab report.)

ConclusionConclusion

Bye-bye!

My hypothesis was mostly My hypothesis was mostly correct. The vinegar and salt correct. The vinegar and salt water killed the plant but the water killed the plant but the sugar water didn’t fare as well sugar water didn’t fare as well as planned, and maggots as planned, and maggots attacked the milk. I learned that attacked the milk. I learned that certain things were not healthy, certain things were not healthy, and some were.and some were.
