= ﻿﻿ Does altering the type of liquid a seed is watered with affect how high the seedling will grow? =

= __Task 1: Answer these Questions__ =

__ 1. What do plants need in order to grow? __ Water, sunlight, soil and carbon dioxide. __ 2. Why is water so important for plant growth? __ So a plant can give air to itself (photosenthesis) __ 3. How do we get pea seeds? (What part of the plant do they come from?) In pods or hulks on the vine. __ __4. What sorts of things can affect plant growth?__ Temperature, sun, water, predators, soil, air and pests.

__Task 2: List your independent, dependent and controlled variables:__
__1. Independent variable:__ The type of liquid. __2. Dependent variable:__ How high the peas grow. __3. Controlled variables:__ Seed type Soil type Where we plant them and leave the containers Container size = __Task 3: What is the hypothesis for your experiment?__ = Sky: I think seeds watered with water will make the peas grow the best.

Ellie: I think orange juice will make the peas grow the best. = __Task 4: What equipment do you need for your experiment?__ = Coke, orange juice, water soil, pea seeds, and plant box = __Task 5: List all steps in the method of your experiment__ = 1: Get 3 containers and put soil in them 2: Put a pea seed in each container 3: Water the peas with coke, water or orange juice. 4: Label each plant with coke, water or orange juice. 5. Water each container when the soil is dry. 6. Measure each pea plant every day for a week and after the week see which one is the tallest.

__Experiment 1 Observations:__ ﻿The water pea seed started to grow first. It started growing on the 14th of September.

__Experiment 2 Observations: The seed watered with coke started growing too. The coke watered-seed started to grow the next day which was the 15th of September. __

__Experiment 3 Observations:__ ﻿The seed watered with orange juice hasn't grown yet (16 September).



= __Task 7: Results__ = = __The Orange Juice has gone mouldy and for the Water and Coke the peas aren't taking the liquid.__ = height || Day 1: || Day 2: || Day 3: || Day 4: || Day 5: || Day 6: || Day 7: ||

__Task 8: Conclusion__
Write a statement that says whether your hypothesis was wrong. If you were wrong, why were you wrong?
