blog submission - March 11th

there are several ways i can conduct this experiment.

one way (most likely way i'll be doing it)
is to put to gather 5 pots filled with soil and plant three seeds in each pot.
then, each pot will be watered with varied temperatures - possibly 15 degrees celsius apart
(e.g. 1st pot: water temperature 5'C, 2nd pot 20'C, 3rd pot 35'C, 4th pot 50'C, 5th pot 65'C)
should the temperature range increase?
i will water them probably a couple of times a week, depending how much water they need.
fertiliser will also be handy, as there is a disease called Rot which deteriorates the flower in a matter of hours. :(

another way to conduct this experiment is to place each individual seed in their own pots, then carry out the acitivities from the first method above. however, this was not advised, so i will not do this.

in this experiment, the independent variable is the temperature of the water being watered to the plants. the dependant variable is the plant growth of the lilies.

this experiment is reliable and will be conduct fairly, as the plants will be grown in same conditions (same place, same soil, same sized pot). the only difference will be the temperature of the water. also, it will be able to be completed within the time frame, as lilies take approximately 3 weeks to grow. normal household equipment will be used. (pots for plants, tap to supply water, fridge/ freezer / kettle to change the temperature of the water, etc)
after observing the growth of each plant, a conclusive result will be able to be determined whether or not the temperature of water will determine plant growth.

LILIES !

okay. i have decided to grow red or pink lilies to determine whether the temperature of the water affects plant growth.
they have large petals, so change or difference in growth will be evident.
also, the colours are bright, so it'll be easier to determine which flower is experiencing the best growth.

looking for a type of plant?

which seeds should i use to do this experiment?
i'm thinking of experimenting with daisy flower seeds
in memory of Daisy ♥

but unfortunately i cannot do daisies as they grow within 2-2 and a half months.
there's simply no time for that :(
