Raising seeds:

Aim:

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

Method:

We worked in groups of 3-4 students

Potting mix was put into the cups

The cups were planted with radish seeds;

Each cup had a different growing conditions

Cup 1 - 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 we measured.

Findings:

Some of the plants were over planted and some didn't grow well but the only the one that grew had a red cellophane covering the top.

Here are the two results that we got out of our ten days plant waitings

The seedling height was:

 1. (0mm)

2. (0mm)

3. (50mm)

4. (0mm)

The best growing conditions were:

1. The plant with the red cellophane covering the top was the only one that had the best results because it was the only that grew.

Therefore the seedling with the red cellophane condition grew to a height of 50mm.
