Science Project

Task

Write a recount of your Science Fair project last year under the headings. Be brief and summarise. One or two sentences on each: My project last year was if plants grew faster, slower or differently with music.

Aim: My aim was to see if the plant grew any different with music.

Hypothesis : I thought that the plants would grew better with music.

Introduction : The way that I will do my science experiment is first I am going to buy 4 plant pots and put cotton squares and I will play music to 3 of them and the other one won’t get music. They will have water everyday, my songs that I will be playing to my plants are Can't hold us by Macklemore, Into the night by Santana, Titanium by David Guetta and one will have no music and I will play the music twice every 2nd day and I will see What the difference is.  

Equipment & Method I needed :

• 4 pots
• 1 pack of seeds that don’t take long to grow
• Water
• 4 Cotton squares
• Music
• And the sun

Results : The rock music plant grew the best and was growing very well and then the 2013 music grew the best then no music then nice slow music.

Conclusion :

My hypothesis was correct and music does affect plant growth How ? Because The rock music plant grew the best. I have learnt that plant growth with music can affect plant growth.

What I could have done better ?

I need to play music to them more often.

so over all the rock music grew the best and the worst growing plant was plant 2 nice slow music.

Now answer these questions

What did you do well last year? Making sure I played music to the plants every day.

What did you find difficult last year? because I had so many result it was difficult keeping all the piece
