27. Equipment and substances 9 test tubes 4 days malt peas filter paper liquid fertilizer water with sugar stand distilled water colored wax crayon ruler

28. Pour water into three tubes

29. Pour liquid fertilizer into next three tubes

30. Pour water with sugar into last three tubes

31. Make nine balls of filter paper and put them in a tube, but don’t let them slide down

32. Put a pea seedling on filter paper ball

33. Put tubes in the stand in the classroom for a week

34. After week Observe any changes that occurred in all test tubes with peas seedlings

35. We measure pea seedlings root length

36. Tube number FluidIn beginning of the experiment, mm At the end of the experiment, mm 1. Distilled water 014 2. Distilled water 05 3. Distilled water 022 4. Liquid fertilizer 025 5. Liquid fertilizer 023 6. Liquid fertilizer 010 7. Water with sugar 012 8. Water with sugar 06 9. Water with sugar 00 We register the results in the table!

37. Average pea seedling root length Distilled water (14+5+22):3=13.7 mm Liquid fertilizer (25+23+10):3=19.3mm Water with sugar (12+6+0):3=6mm

38. Average pea seedling root length

39. Conclusion The best environment for pea seedling is fertilized liquid The worst environment for pea seedling is water with sugar We proved that fertilized liquid is needed for plant to grow!!
