Factors Impacting Plant Growth
When growing food in a greenhouse there are a lot of factors to get right to ensure healthy plants and bountiful harvests. In this task students will investigate a chosen factor that they believe may impact on the rate at which plants grow some of these may include, but are not limited to.
Changing the amount each plant is watered
Students will use the scientific method to design an experiment, decide what data to collect, monitor their experiment over a number of weeks, and then form conclusions. |
In this task students from different groups will all design their practical using the same type of plant, in that way many different factors about the same type of plant can be determined with the aim of optimising conditions for that plant type. A template for this design can be found at the link below
