How does the number of seeds affect the growth of the plants? By: Brendan Rein, Stuart De Vore, Adela Mondragon, and Juelie Chandler
How the Experiment was conducted Step 1: We planted the seeds and fertilizer pellets. Step 2 : We recorded the growth then pollinated at day 19. Step 3: We recorded the growth through to day 28.
Control Variables • Variable 1: Number of seeds • Variable 2: Amount of fertilizer pellets • Variable 3: Amount of soil
Results-Height Graph From day 13 to 15 all cells grew at least 10mm overall the control group grew the most at 35.5 mm. From day 15 to 21 they all kept increasing except cell 2 of the experimental group which started to decrease. All groups continued to increase except cell 2 which continued to decrease until the end at day 28 the control group started to decrease at day 24 to day 28
Sources of Error • Not enough Living Space • Temperature of the room • Different type of light • Height of the light bank
Conclusions • The amount of seeds does affects the growth of plants. • For example Cell with 2 seeds grew more then Cell with 8 seeds. • That happen because of Living Space. • So Living Space affects the growth of plants not the amount of seeds.
Recommendations to ImproveExperiment • Raise the Light bank when they grow. • Make the quads a little bigger for the seeds. • Have the same type of light. • Do the experiment during a warmer climate.
