Yes, I know I haven't been posting up blogs until today.
I shall make this months resolution to post a blog at least three times a week.
Sorry if I fail, but I'll do my best.
Oh, is the experiment meant to be third person past tense? Just a question.
Here's the experiment:
AIM: To determine whether water temperature affects plant growth.
HYPOTHESIS: When water is too hot or too cold, the plant will wilt or its growth rate will decrease.
EQUIPMENT:
- 15 pots
- flower seeds
- fertilised soil
- thermometre
- measuring cups
- tap water
- refridgerator
- kettle
METHOD:
Steps...
1. All 15 pots were filled with fertilised soil.
2. A single flower seed was buried in the fertilised soil in each of the 15 pots.
3. Each pot was watered with 5mL of tap water (all water temperatures remained the same)
4. Pots were placed outisde where shelter is available, therefore sunlight is able to reach it however, rainy weather will not affect it.
5. Step 3 was repeated every two days for two weeks.
6. After two weeks, the pots were organised into 5 groups - 3 pots each group.
7. A certain amount of tap water was attained and then put in the refridgerator so that the temperature lowers to 5 degrees celsius.
8. While waiting for the water temperature to lower in Step 7, another amount of tap water was attained and, with the use of the kettle, was boiled.
9. Thermometre was used to measure the temperature of the water amounts.
10. The first group was watered with very cold water, approximately 5 degrees celsius.
The second group received water approximately 10 degrees. (approx average temperature of tap water)
The third group received water approximately 35 degrees.
The fourth group received water approximately 50 degrees.
The fifth group received water approximately 80 degrees.
11. Steps 7-10 were repeated
12. Plant growth was examined and information was recorded.
