Aim: To look at the different growing conditions and how these affect the growth of seeds.



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.
