Science Fiar Project on Watering Schedules
Which Watering Schedule is Best? How to Water Plants
Doing your science fair experiment on plants is a pretty popular choice for elementary students, because projects with plants are pretty easy to execute - within a month the experiment is usually over; you don’t need special permission for your science fair project to work with plants (unlike if you want to work with people or animals); and finally, because the experiments are usually pretty easy to understand. If you have waited until the last minute to do your science project, I have good news for you, you can have your project done by tomorrow with "24 Hours Science Projects"
For this science fair project, you are going to discover whether or not the amount of water that you give each plant affects how fast it will grow. Before starting, you need to write your hypothesis. This hypothesis is going to answer the question on which type of soil will plants grow the fastest: really wet, wet, moist, dry or really dry soil. Make sure to write down your hypothesis and put it in your science fair folder.
You are going to need: plant seeds, 10 small pots that have drainage holes in the bottom, soil and a ruler. Plant the seeds according to the directions on the package, making sure to put the same number of seeds in each pot and keeping each pot’s seeds evenly spaced.
Now, you are going to determine how much water to give each plant. Make sure to keep these watering schedules the same throughout the period of the science fair project. For example, you may want to give the “very wet” pots 100 ml of water twice a day, while giving the “wet” pots 100 ml of water once a day. The moist will get water every other day, while the dry and very dry will get water less often. Write down how much water you give each plant. The amount of water may have to be changed, due to the environment that you live in, the season in which you plant these plants and the amount of sunlight that they get. If you need more help with scienctific method, I can recommend "Science Fair Projects Made Easy."
After the seeds have sprouted, you are going to take weekly measurements of the plants in each different group and write down the results. Continue taking measurements for four weeks.
After you have the data from your science fair project, make sure to make a graph showing average plant growth and the amount of water that was given. Which group grew the best? Was your hypothesis right? (If you need help with your hypothesis try "101 Easy Science Projects" that is suitable for all grades.
This science fair project is perfect for students in elementary school, and younger students should get their parents’ or teachers’ help. This science fair project can show how water affects plant growth and what type of watering system plants like.
If you are running our of time to do your Science Fair Project I have good news for you, try "24 Hours Science Fair Projects"
As Science Fair Projects need to be done correctly using the proper scientific method, I strongly recommend that you get one of the excellent e-books I recommend, and make sure you do the best Science Fair Project possible! Browse them and decide wich one suits your needs the best. Personally I think "101 Easy Science Projects" are great because it has projects suitable for all the grades. On the other hand if your project is due shortly, you may want to consider "24 Hours Science Projects." Then again, "Science Fair Projects Made Easy" and "Super Science Fair Projects" teaches you all the scientific methods and both have lots of help to ensure you do the best project possibe, so, have a look, I know you'll not be dissappointed.
