2. PLANTS AND THEIR GROWTH WITH LIQUIDS MY S.T.E.M FAIR PROJECT

3. QUESTION Can different types of liquids affect plant growth?

4. PURPOSE The purpose of my investigation is to determine if different types of liquids affect the special types of plants.

5. HYPOTHESIS I hypothesize that different types of liquids will affect plant growth.

6. PROCEDURE

7. MATERIALS 25 Daisies 25 cups [A]:LEMONADE [B]:COCA COLA [C]:SPRITE [D]:DR. PEPPER [E]:WATER 25 Daisies 25 cups [A]:LEMONADE [B]:COCA COLA [C]:SPRITE [D]:DR. PEPPER [E]:WATER

8. VARIABLES Manipulated : Liquids Responding : Health of the flower Constant:  Size of the cup  Amount of liquids  Type of flower  Method of rating health of flower

9. DIRECTIONS 1.GATHER ALL MATERALS 2.LABLE ONE CUP A, ONE CUP B, ONE CUP C, ONE CUP D, AND ONE CUP E 3.FILL CUP A WITH LEMONADE 4.FILL CUP B WITH COCA COLA 5.FILL CUP C WITH OF SPRITE 6.FILL CUP D WITH GINGER ALE 1.GATHER ALL MATERALS 2.LABLE ONE CUP A, ONE CUP B, ONE CUP C, ONE CUP D, AND ONE CUP E 3.FILL CUP A WITH LEMONADE 4.FILL CUP B WITH COCA COLA 5.FILL CUP C WITH OF SPRITE 6.FILL CUP D WITH GINGER ALE

10. DIRECTIONS 7.FILL CUP E WITH WATER 8.PLACE ONE CUT FLOWER IN EACH LIQUID 9.AFTER 5 DAYS OBSERVE HEALTH OF FLOWER.RECORD A SCORE FOR THE HEALTH USING A RATING SCALE OF 1 TO 5,WITH 1 BEING THE FLOWER APPERS VERY HEALTHY AND 5 BEING THE FLOWER IS DEAD. 10.REPEAT STEPS 2-9 FOR FOUR MORE TRAILS 11.CALCULATE THE AVERAGE SCORE FOR EACH LIQUID 7.FILL CUP E WITH WATER 8.PLACE ONE CUT FLOWER IN EACH LIQUID 9.AFTER 5 DAYS OBSERVE HEALTH OF FLOWER.RECORD A SCORE FOR THE HEALTH USING A RATING SCALE OF 1 TO 5,WITH 1 BEING THE FLOWER APPERS VERY HEALTHY AND 5 BEING THE FLOWER IS DEAD. 10.REPEAT STEPS 2-9 FOR FOUR MORE TRAILS 11.CALCULATE THE AVERAGE SCORE FOR EACH LIQUID

11. DATA CHART

13. CONCLUSION MY HYPOTHESIS WAS CORRECT AND INCORRECT. THE WATER KEPT THE FLOWER ALIVE LONGEST, BUT SO DID SPRITE. LEMONADE [A’S]AVERAGE WAS 3.4. COCA COLA [B’S] AVERAGE WAS 1.8. SPRITE [C’S] AVERAGE WAS 5.0. DR.PEPER [D’S] AVERAGE WAS LOW 1.0, AND WATERS [E’S] AVERAGE WAS ALSO WAS 5.0. NEXT TIME I WILL USE SOIL INSTEAD OF JUST THE LIQUID AND THE FLOWER.
