Growing Seeds

Aim: To look at the different growing conditions and how these affect the growth of seeds.

Method:

1. We worked in groups of 3-4

2. Potting mix was put into the cups

3. The cups were planted with radish seeds

4. Each cup had a different growing condition:

Cup1- Normal

Cup 2- Red cellophane

Cup 3- Over watered

Cup 4- Under watered or green cellophane

The plants grew in their cups for 10 days before they were measured.

  

Findings:

Plant growing condition	Height after 10 days (mm)
Normal	76mm
Blue cellophane	24mm
Red cellophane	80mm
Overwater Clear	38mm 59mm

The normal seedling was planted in normal potting mix and grew to a height of ____76_____mm.

The blue cellophane seedling was planted in a normal potting mix, covered in green cellophane and watered. It grew to a height of ___24_____mm. The red cellophane seedling was planted in normal potting mix............. to a height of ____80_______mm. The overwatered seedling was planted in a normal potting mix, the water could not drain out the bottom of the pot and it grew to a height of ___38___mm.

Conclusion:

From the pictures and evidence, we can conclude that:

The seedling height was:

1.80mm
2.76mm
3. 59mm
4. 38mm


The best-growing conditions were:

1. Red 
2. Normal
3. Clear
4. Overwater

Therefore the seedling with best conditions grew to a height of 80mm.
