With the help of a few friends, I have decided to do my science project on:
"What types of soil affect the growth of one type of seed (e.g. tea leaves, gravel, coffee ground, etc.)"
I will use a few types of soil for one type of seed and over a couple of weeks, I will see how the plants grow. and how differently they will grow under the same conditions.
Again, here are the variables that will be used in this experiment:
Independent variable: the two or three different soils the plants are put in.
Controlled variable: the amount of water and light, same type of plant/seeds, same amount of soil for each plant/seed, same temperature and same planting pots.
Dependent variable: the growth and structure of the plants.
So now, I have to try and think of an experiment that will hopefully not take very long to do.
Over the next couple of hours and days, I will start researching different types of soils and how they affect the growth of seeds and I will post another blog and update what I have done.
I have to go now, BYE.
Just make sure you are aware of ALL the variables present and think about how you're going to measure plant growth. If you choose to use seeds, you'll need lots of repeats set up and a "negative control".
