Method - Peas

Okay, so this method is going to be fairly similar to my method I did for my first blog submission. I re-added this method like fairly late because I didn't realise we had to have one for blog submission two. This method is going to be for my peas. I've decided to continue measuring them and nearing the experiment, I might ditch the peas and go for the sunflowers. However, I may not, and end up using both of the plants. Yes, I've changed my mind again. hahaha

So this is for my peas.

Aim:

To examine whether different types of soil affect the growth of peas.

Hypothesis:

The soil with the more nutrients will affect the growth and height of the plant that it will grow quicker and taller than the ones without as many nutrients.

Equipment/Materials:

3 containers to hold the experiment in

sharpie and paper for labeling the plants

Water for watering the plants on a regular basis

A packet of snow pea seeds

3 types of soils:
Backyard Soil
Compost Soil
Potting Mix

Method:
1. Buy and collect all the equipment required for this experiment.
2. Add 1/3 a bucket full of compost soil into the bucket.
3. Plant 6 snow peas seeds from the packet, into the soil.
4. Water the soil with 25 mL of water so that it's damp.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for potting mix and backyard soil.
6. Water the each of the plants daily, making sure the soil is always full of moisture.
7. Observe and record the results of the growth of the plant every 7 days.
8. Compare the results when the period of time for the snow peas to grow finishes.
