Materials and Procedures

Directions: After learning all the tips from the discussion, list down all the materials
you are going to use in the experiment. Write a step-by-step procedure of your
experiment in the space provided.

• List all the materials with quantity and quality.

• Procedures should be clear and coherent.

Problem Statement
Does the presence of coffee grounds affect the growth of the Ipomoea Aquatica (Kangkong)?

Hypothesis

If we use coffee grounds as fertilizer to the Ipomoea Aquatica (Kangkong), then the plant will grow
taller.

Experimental Design

Independent The independent variable is the coffee grounds as fertilizer.

Variable
Dependent The dependent variable is the growth of the plant.
Variables

Constant Variables The constant or controlled variables are the amount of

water, the amount of sunlight exposure, the size of the
plant, and the kind of plant
Experimental Set-up Set-up A
Under Set-up A are pots labeled as pots 1, 2, and 3. We will
add 1 tablespoon of caffeine to each pot as a fertilizer. We
will also add a 1 cup amount of water to each pot. The
suggested amount of sunlight exposure should not exceed
2-3 hours daily.
Note: The amount of water and sunlight exposure will be
present in both experimental and controlled set-ups.
Controlled Set-up Set-up B
Under Set-up B are pots labeled as pots 4, 5, and 6. We
will add 1 cup of water to each pot and we suggest that the
amount of sunlight exposure should not exceed 2-3 hours
daily. There will be no fertilizer added.

Note: The amount of water and sunlight exposure will be

present in both experimental and controlled set-ups.

Materials
Material Name Quantity
- Moonlight Dwarf Plant - Six (6) for both Set-A and Set-B.
- 17cm plant pots - Six (6) for both Set-A and Set-B
- Tap Water - 1200L cup
- Coffee grounds - 1 tablespoon
- Digital Weighing Scale - 1
- Measuring Tape - 1
- Loose Soil - Six (6) 2L worth of soil

Procedures

STEP 1: Gather all the needed materials and have a chosen area for where to conduct and execute the experiment.
STEP 2: Gather or prepare the gardening materials: 6 Moonlight Dwarfs, 6 17cm pots, 1200L of water, coffee
grounds, and loose soil.
STEP 3: Fill the 6 small pots with an equal amount of loose soil: 3 in Set-up A and 3 in Step-up B.
Create a hole by using a trowel in the middle, then add your Moonlight Dwarf Plant to the loose soil.
STEP 4: Label 3 pots as 1, 2, and 3, which will be your experimental set-up, while the other 3 pots as 4, 5, and 6,
which will be your controlled set-up.
STEP 5: Place 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds in every pot under the experimental set-up. (pot 1, 2, and 3 only).
While in the controlled set-up, do not add any caffeine.
STEP 6: Start watering 1 cup of water per pot (all 6 pots) and place it in the same area so that every plant can
receive the same amount of sunlight.
STEP 7: Do step 6 for 4 weeks.
STEP 8: After 4 weeks, the results should come, and start gathering data during the 4-week experiment.
STEP 9: Measure the height of the plants under the experimental set-up which are plants 1, 2, and 3.
STEP 10: After measuring the height of the plants, you may now compare and answer/ask if the hypothesis
worked or not.
 Collaboration Rating Sheet
• In this part, you are going to evaluate your groupmates in terms of how they
showed collaboration and participation in the making of all your Performance
Tasks.
• There is no need to rate yourself.
• Type your groupmate’s family name on the first row.
• If you rated your classmate 1 or 2 points, please include a brief explanation as to
why you think he/she deserves that score.
