Data analysis
Does the radiation affect plant growth. If radiation is placed on a seed it will grow faster. The first thing you do is find a seed you want to grow then get 3 seeds put one in the microwave for 15 sec then put another on in the microwave for 30 sec then the last one just keep it normally. Then have soil and a little container then plant the seeds. Then measure the plants growth and see which plant grew first. Check the temperature everyday while looking at the plants. Water the plants 10ml each give good sunlight. Make observations about your plants.The Independent variable was the amount of microwave radiation the seeds received .The dependent variable is the growth of the plants.The 3 controlled variables are the soil that was used ( Miracle grow potting

The plant that was microwaved for 15 sec grew second for me it grew to (14 cm).The average height for Plant #2 was 3.08. The plant that was microwaved for 30 sec grew last it grew the shortest also it grew to (11 cm).The average height for Plant #3 was 1.9. The average height for all the plants combined was 1.14 cm. The temperature for all the days was usually different from each other on day it was 25 degrees C the next day it was 27 degrees C. The plant mostly stayed the same everyday it would go 1 up every 2 days. The data does not support my hypothesis.The data supports the opposite of the hypothesis. My plant #1 grew first and and was the tallest. Plant #3 did grow but not as fast as #1. Plant #2 grew second as was 1 cm smaller than plant #. The relationship between the Independent variable and the dependent variable is neutral. The variables have in common is that they both use the seeds. Things that they don’t have in common is that not all the seed are used for the independent variable. One other thing that they had in common was to grow the
Beforehand, I believed that, if fertilizer speeds the growth of plants, then the 9 pellets of fertilizer were going to make the biggest plant the fastest. I thought this because it would have the most fertilizer and if fertilizer speeds up the growth of plants then 9 must speed it up the most. However, I was not completely right with my initial prediction. My personal data came to the conclusion that the 3 pellets made the plant grow the fastest but in the class data by the end the average data showed that 9 pellets showed the most growth. This experiment was set up as four different plant seeds in four different quadrants. Each of the four quadrants had a different amount of fertilizer. We watered them and planted them in soil then every week we checked in on our plants. We measured the size if the plants and then recorded it and put them back under the fluorescent light. Then everyone recorded their data and we watched the class data on average, then the last day we measured the mass of the plants and found the class data. So although my prediction of 9 pellets of fertilizer creating the most growth was true in the class data, it was not true in my individual
4. After 5 days, measure the height of the 10 plants in each pot. Add up the individual heights and divide by 10 to obtain the average height. Record the average heights in a table, as shown below.
After finishing the entire lab experiment, I find that those were the only big problems I had. If I were to improve this experiment, though, I would find a good window ledge, buy a tape measure and have a better object to block the experimental seeds from the sun. Other than these factors, I feel this lab went very successfully and that the results were reasonably accurate.
Each quad of soil had 2-3 seeds in it along with either 0, 3, 6, or 9 pellets of fertilizer in each quad to possibly get 4 plants total. Two types of fertilizer exist, organic fertilizer and synthetic fertilizer. Gardeners.com says that, organic fertilizers are made from organic materials. (1) Organic fertilizers also prevent the plant with a better structure, improving the structure of the plant. (2) Synthetic fertilizers are fast-acting fertilizers but also come in different forms such as granule, spike and pellet. (2) This kind of fertilizer is also known for seeing green in the plants quicker and quick-hit of nutrients for the plants. (2) There are advantages and disadvantages of using fertilizer. Plants can have a quick action of growth and are more defined when using fertilizer. (3) But sometimes there is a chance of using the fertilizer to much causing damage to the whole soil ecosystem. (3) Over two weeks we observed the growth of the fast plants and recorded the data of the height. By the end of the two weeks, we also recorded the weight of the fast plants. I hypothesized that each quadrant was going to be different plant growth, with the quadrant of 6 pellets (quadrant C) being the fastest growing plant. My individual results showed that the quadrant with 9 pellets (quadrant D) had the most results with growing in
The low-density radish-collard mix pots contained four seeds of radishes and four seeds of collards. The high-density radish-collard pots contained 32 seeds of each species. While our group replicated this 3x2 design four times to total 24 posts, we incorporated the whole class data. Therefore, there were 16 replicates for each treatment. For each pot, we filled soil up until about one inch from the top. We placed the seeds in the pot and piled on around 2 or 3 cm of soil on top. In 3 species levels, seeds were spaced as evenly as possible. In the mixed species pot, the two species were alternated so that each one had the same access to space and nutrients at the other. For each pot, we wrote down our section number, group name, and the contents of the pot. Our group worked at the first bench in the greenhouse and also contained our pots that were spread out evenly in four rows. Our pots stayed in the greenhouse for about five weeks, captured as much sunlight as they could, and got their water source from sprinklers that automatically came on twice a
What water level did you select for plant growth during your first attempt? Describe the observations of your plants at this water level. Based on your data, was the level you picked the best choice for optimum
Once the plants have sprouted and grown for about two weeks, they were ready for observations. Six different groups in the lab class compiled data by counting each plant of how many tall vs. dwarf plants have grown. A class average was then calculated to have accurate and precise data.
An event from one’s past can haunt someone for his entire life. In the play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, Paul Zindel presents Beatrice, the unpleasant mother of Ruth and Tillie, and gives insight into a parent-child relationship full of complications and conflicts. From verbally abusing and mistreating her children, Beatrice causes her children to feel inferior and alone. Due to experiencing an unconventional childhood, Beatrice has no knowledge of what a parent should be. As a result, Ruth and Tillie often feel the need to overcompensate in order to be noticed by their mother, and they feel as if their mother is distant and not relatable.
For both the of the groups the same amount and type of soil The types of post and the amount of sunlight that each plant received was also the same. Five seeds where planted in the control pots and 10 seeds in the experimental pots. The soybeans seeds where placed at random within the pot and where buried 5 centimeters in the soil. Once the soybean plant started to appear a set number of plants from each pot where eliminated.
From the tables seen above, it can be seen that the most successful trial, on average, was Trial 3. The smaller the mean value was, the quicker the leaf disks rose, and it can be seen that in Trial 1, leaf disks took an average of about 12 minutes to rise; in Trial 2, the leaf disks took
All of the plants involved in the experiment, Marigold, Squash, Radish, and Wisconsin Fast Plant, all were affected by the radiation from Cobalt, but some more than others. The plants all followed a similar trend, which was when the radiation amount would increase, the amount of growth would decrease. In the Marigold plant, the germination percentage for 0 KR started at 54.88%, but increased to 64.55% at 50 KR, before starting to drop it’s percentages lower as the KR amount went up. The squash plant had a continuous drop starting at 69.53% at 0 KR and dropping to 36.72% at 500 KR. The Radish plant started at 81.64% at 0 KR and dropped to 30.73% at 500 KR. The Wisconsin Fast Plant started at 85.16% at 0 KR and dropped a little bit to 64.71%
5. Put plastic wrap over all pots until germination 6. Track growth every day for all 15 days. During this experiment all of the cat grass pots were measured every day for 15 days. I used a ruler to measure the growth of each plant. In the outcome of this experiment the regular water plant(s) grew the most, the one aspirin tablet plant(s) grew very little, and the 2 aspirin tablet plants didn’t grow hardly at all. I think this outcome happened because when I did research most of the experiments used very little amounts of medication in the plants. Also, the plants could have been over watered because the plants were watered with one and a half cup of water and aspirin added water every day. In my hypothesis, if aspirin water is added to growing cat grass, then the aspirin will make the cat grow faster because will speed up the growth process, this hypothesis does not support the data of this experiment. Since the regular water plants grew the most, that proves the hypothesis is incorrect. I think this experiment could be a benefit to society because if other students/teachers would ever want to do this experiment they can find out how aspirin does not help cat grass
I was sure that the plant in the basement will grow the most and then the plant in the kitchen will be lower in height and the router plant will not grow, but at the end the router plant died which
Each day the plant(s) growth were measured by the height daily with the acceptance of weekends and absences. On day 5 Plant cell 1 fell and the growing seed fell. Cell #1 never grew again. Cell #3 Died around day 10. Plant cell #2 grew very well. At the end of the experiment on day 35 the plant grew to be 47 centimeters. This was the plant that was microwaved for 15 seconds. About each day the pattern was shown that it grew around .50 cm a day to 1.5 centimeters a day. So each day it did grow a decent amount. Plant cell
A plant is any of the boundless number of living beings within the biological kingdom Plantae, these species are considered of low motility since this species generally generate their own food by sunlight. They incorporate a large group of commonplace life forms including trees, forbs, bushes, grasses, vines, plants, and greeneries. In this task we are experimenting the relationship between light and plant growth by growing plants in three different lights which are red light, blue light and white light. As I stated above that plants generate their own food by sunlight. Sunlight can be broken up by a prism into respective colors of red, blue, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet and white. All this lights have specific
