Method:
We worked in groups of 4
Potting mixed was put into cups.
The cups were planted with radish seeds.
Each cup had different growing conditions
Cup 1 - normal
Cup 2 - red cellophane
Cup 3 - overwatered
Cup 4 - underwatered or green cellophane
The plants grew in their cups for 10 days before they were measured.
Findings:
Plant growing condition
|
Height after 10 days (mm)
|
Normal
| 50mm |
Green cellophane
| 0 |
Red cellophane
| 0 |
Overwater
| 50mm |
The normal seedling was planted in normal potting mix and grew to a height of _________mm.
The green cellophane seedling was planted in normal potting mix, covered in green cellophane and watered. It grew to a height of ________mm. The red cellophane seedling was planted in normal potting mix............. to a height of ___________mm. The overwatered seedling was planted in normal potting mix, the water could not drain out the bottom of the pot and it grew to a height of ______mm.
Conclusion:
From the pictures and evidence, we can conclude that:
The seedling height was:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The best growing conditions were:
1. normal water
2. overwater
3.
4.
therefore the seedling with normal water conditions grew to a height of 50 mm.
