Watering Plants

Nicole

My project was about which water would grow a plant better. I chose this project because my family would no which water would be best to use. That is about my project.

My questions were which plant would grow better. What if I accidentally gave one plant more water then the other plants. I thought that maybe that it could change the results. That was my questions.

I thought of this project all by myself, so I used my knowledge. And I discovered that my predictions was wrong. I discovered that the plant does not grow back every year.

First, I got a measuring cup. Next I poured the waters on the exact same amount. Finally I poured the exact amount of different water in each plant. That is how I fixed my problem.

The facts I discovered was the plant I was using was a indoor plant and that it likes sun light. That is what I learned about the project.

Students might try to use different kid of plants and the same kind of water. I want to try to find out how big the plants will grow up and when they die. Maybe someone else can investigate how the plants grow up too.
