Plants Grow Better in?
By: Hayden Airheart
What soil will plants grow better in?
Hypothesis- I think that plants grow better in a loamy soil.
Experiment
During this experiment I am going to test to see the which soil a plant grows better in. Between sand, loam and clay. All having the same amount of water and sunlight during the experiment.
Soils and controlled variables-
Sand
Put a flower seed in and added 50mL of water and put under 3 light bulbs.
Loam
Put a flower seed in and added 50mL of water and put under 3 light bulbs.
Clay
Put a flower seed in and added 50mL of water and put under 3 light bulbs.
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 - Chart like written evidence
- Day 1- Sand- No Sprout, Loam- Sprout, Clay- Almost Sprouting
- Day 2- Sand- Almost Sprout, Loam- Leafing, Clay- Sprout
- Day 3- Sand- Sprout, Loam- Flowers, Clay- Leafing
Loam had the best results after 3 days of the experiment.
Overall-
Sand- The sand plant turned out the worst, because the sands water would not hold up near the plant causing the plant to have a shortage of water giving bad growth results.
Loam- Best results, because the soil held water close to the plant and nourished it well with good nutrients, giving it great beautiful results.
Clay- Had the second best results. In between having no water and some water near the plant gave it a little bit of growth.
