This report is made under the purpose of gaining knowledge of the plant’s cycle and their life.
We may do this by growing plants and see how they function in different environments.We
can see how they act differently through photosynthesis and growth. Depending on the
environment they are in, it could affect the plants in some way, either from a lack of
requirements that is important for the plant or something that could bring harm. We will see
what are the effects if the plant goes out without one of its essential needs. This can include
water, sunlight, or carbon dioxide. So in theory, I have hypothesized that a plant needs
sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis, then a plant with less sunlight would
die faster than a plant with more sunlight if they both have the same amount of water.
In order to see the functions of the plant and to find as well as their growth or life
cycle, an experiment will be conducted.Two of the same plants will be given the same
amount of water each day. However, plant A will have be placed in a more sunny
environment than plant B. The seeds will be planted and the height will be recorded each day
and must be watered the same amount. After a span of 21 days, we will be able to see the
results of different the plants that were put in areas without one of their essential needs than
one put in their place of comfort with everything they would need.
Aims:
- Conduct a science experiment from beginning to end, and draw conclusions based on their
data. Includes: Hypothesis, Materials, Procedure, Data and Observation, and Conclusion
- Make an accurate measurement (measure the heights) once they are sprouting. Record the
date!
Materials:
1. 2 pots
2. 2 lettuces
3. water
4. soil
5. A place with sunlight
6.water sprayer
Procedure:
1. Put planting soils into each pot. Keep around 1 cm soil for the next step.
2. Put around 5 seeds into each pot. Make sure the number of seeds is equal between two pots.
4. Add some soil (around 1 cm) to cover the seeds. Spray them one more time.
- Keep it in the place that gets enough access to sunlight (but not dried in direct sunlight)
- Spray it with water once a day every morning and observe the growth. If it is already
- Write down on which date does the seed start to sprout : 11 September 2022
Hypothesis
A plant needs sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis, then a plant with less
sunlight would die faster than a plant with more sunlight if they both have the same amount of
water.
Independent variable
Dependent variable
For the dependent variable, we will be looking at how less or more sunlight can effect the growth
Control
The control of this experiment is the water that we use in equal amounts.
Data and Observation
Graph:
Analysis: Plant A, was able to grow more higher than Plant B and also survive a month
after it has been planted. Plant B died on the 18th day after it was planted and had a
smaller growth than Plant A. They had both sprouted on the same day.
Conclusion:
Plant A was able to grow much more because it was in a more sunny environment while plant B
was only able to grow a little and later died because of the environment they were in. The only
reason that plant B died was because I have placed in under a more shady environment with
less sunlight for the plant to do photosynthesis. Therefore, the plant was not able to produce a
lot of food and later died. I placed plant A in an area with more sunlight and it was able to do
photosynthesis for itself to gain food and grow all the way to the 21th day.
