Problem:
Is plant growth
affected by the amount of light received?
|
|
Research:
Plants use the light energy to grow. In this
experiment we try to find out how does the amount of light
effect the growth of a plant.
|
|
Hypothesis:
I think that more light brings more growth, but there
will be a limit that after that adding to the amount of
light does not help the plant to grow any more.
|
|
Material:
1. Three of the same plants
2. Three box or cabinet as yiur test room.
3. Three different light source that must be mounted
inside box or cabinets. We will use 25 Watt, 100 Watt and
200 Watt light bulbs as our light source.
|
|
Procedure:
Put your three identical plant samples in three test
rooms. Install the lights above each plant in each test
room. Leave enough distance between the light and plant to
avoid heat damage to the plants. Label your test rooms 60,
100 and 200 to match the light bulbs. Make sure that test
rooms have proper ventilation. Inspect and water your
samples every day and record the results by giving grade
to samples for at least 10 days.
