Most of the material that a person needs can be found around the house. The materials are sugar, coffee grounds, fertilizer, tap water, 12 plastic cups, soil, 1 tablespoon, I measuring cup, baking sheet, paper towels, ruler, phone/camera, pencil, 24 cucumber seeds, lined paper, sharpie and 2 long toothpicks. The sugar does not have to be a specific one (as long as it isn’t powdered) but the coffee grounds need to be used Folgers Medium Dark Coffee Grounds and the fertilizer needs to be Miracle-Gro Shake ‘n Feed. Anything else doesn’t need to be a specific brand. This experiment was developed by trying to make gardening more interesting by growing cucumbers faster with different items that can help other plant. By figuring out how to grow …show more content…
cucumbers faster a person can get more cucumbers in the spring or summer because the cucumber seeds will mature faster which can help with growth. This experiment is more for the benefit of gardeners and farmers who grow cucumbers from the seed. The certain methods for the experiments were chosen and used to make the experiment fast with data in the first couple of days or the first week. In the experiment that is being used for this paper the first data or growth of the seed was on day nine. They are easy to follow and will lead to a successful experiment if followed correctly. Slight changes can be made to fit what a person has or can find but if a person has the material and can do the procedure then they should follow it. A person will be able to conduct the experiment if they have all the right materials needed. That person will also need a kitchen counter because that is where they need to put the plants. They also need to make sure that the amount of sun the cucumber seeds get everyday is the same. In the experiment for the paper that was not possible because of what season it was done in. To get the same amount of sun the cucumber seeds will need to be near a window. The person also need to make sure the temperature around the plants stay the same temperature or close to the temperature that they started with. All of this will lead to a successful experiment. The procedures for the experiment are easy to follow and will lead to success if followed correctly. Perry 4 1. Gather materials 2. Label three of the twelve plastic cups water with the sharpie 3. Label each one either trial one, two or three 4.
Label another three cups fertilizer 5. Label each one of the cups either trial one, two or three 6. Do the same as step two and three with coffee grounds and sugar 7. Put half a cup of soil in each of the cups. Pat down to even. 8. In all of the cups make a small hole half an inch deep. 9. Put 2 cucumber seeds in each cup in the hole 10. Put the soil back on the hole 11. Put a tablespoon of used coffee grounds in each of the cups labeled coffee grounds and stir with long toothpick careful not to go near the seeds 12. Do the same with the sugar in the cups labeled sugar and the fertilizer in the cups labeled fertilizer. Do not stir the fertilizer into the soil 13. In each cup put two tablespoons of water including the three cups labeled water 14. Take a picture of all twelve cups showing the labels 15. Put the cups on a baking sheet on a counter that gets light 16. Keep the thermostat on the same setting so the temperature near the plants is always around sixty degrees Fahrenheit to seventy degrees Fahrenheit 17. Every one to two days, depending on if the cups still have enough water, pour one tablespoon of water in each cup 18. Measure the plant every three days. Write down the data on a sheet of
paper. 19. To measure the plant put the zero mark on the centimeters side on the top of the soil. Where the plant ends is how tall it is. 20. Every week on the day a person started the experiment they need to take a picture of the plants 21. Continue this experiment for 15 days which will be the last day a person needs to measure and take pictures of the plant even if it is not the day a person needs to take pictures
Then, repeat steps 7-11 another 4 times but with the room temperature water. For the room temperature water just leave it in the room but try not to change the room’s temperature. 15. Try to put all your recorded data into a table for organization 16. Repeat the entire experiment for more reliable data.
Plant food is a type of fertilizer in which plants are suppose to grow taller and healthier when the food is used over a period of time. It is made up of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen makes plants grow faster and produce more leaves, phosphorus makes the roots work better, and potassium gives larger flowers and prevents infection. The plant food contains these nutrients that are absorbed by the roots of a plant. Radishes, however, the subject of interest in this experiment is speculated by some to whether plant food actually works on it. However, for the experiment to be successful, the background information on the radish, “Early Scarlet Globe”, must be intact.
...ease the speed to medium. Slowly add the remaining sugar to the egg whites and continue to mix.
3.) Divide your 30g of white substance into the 4 test tubes evenly. You should put 7.5g into each test tube along with the water.
The first thing you will need to do is gather everything that is essential to the task. This should be simple because there are only eight ingredients. They consist of flour tortillas, refried beans, ground beef, grated cheese, green onions, tomatoes, mushroom soup, and sour cream. You will also need a large mixing bowl, a frying pan, a pot, a knife, a spatula, four or five tablespoons, and a nine by thirteen glass baking dish.
2. Drop a gummy bear into each of your prepared beaker or cup and place the beaker or cup
Third, grab the left edge of the Kool-Aid packet between your thumb and index finger. With your other hand, begin peeling the upper-left corner until the entire top of the envelope is removed. Next, dump the contents of the envelope into the pitcher. Notice how the powder floats before settling on the bottom of the pitcher. Then, take the measuring cup and scoop two cups of sugar into the pitcher as well. At this point, adding the water is a crucial step. Place the pitcher under the water faucet and slowly turn on the cold water. If the water is turned on too quickly, powder will fly all over when the initial gusts of water hit. After the pitcher is filled within two inches of the top, turn the water off and get prepared to stir. With the wooden spoon submersed three-quarters of the way in the liquid, vigorously stir in a clockwise motion until all of the powder is dissolved.
have either not stir the mixture or use a machine to stir it at the
The “Fast Plant” experiment is an observation of a plants growth over the span of twenty-eight days. The objective is to observe how plants grow and use their resources throughout the span of their life. In our lab we observed the Brassica rapa, a herbaceous plant in the mustard family which has a short cycle which makes it a perfect plant to observe in this experiment. Like other plants the Brassica rapa must use the resources in the environment to create energy to complete itʻs life cycle and reproduce. By observing the plant it is easy to see in what organ or function the plant is using itʻs energy and resources and if overtime the resources switch to other part of the plants. By conducting this experiment we are able to observe where and how plants allocate their resources throughout their life by harvesting plants at different points in their life.
To start the recipe, the following supplies will be needed; a medium bowl, knives, measuring spoons, a cutting board, and a spatula to stir the ingredients, a regular spoon can be used
We then put the stopwatch on and left them for half an hour. After we weighed each potato tube and recorded our results. We did the experiment twice. We did this to make sure our results were correct. Preliminary method: We did everything the same as in our other experiment except we
the effect light has on the growth of pea plants. It will take place in an environment with controlled light, with equal amounts of plants being grown in the light and in the dark. All elements of the experiment other than light will be kept the same, such as amount of seeds in each pot, amount of soil in each pot and amount of water given to each plant each day. This will ensure a fair experiment. Prediction: I predict that in general, the plants grown in the light will grow better than those grown in the dark.
Prepare silica gel column. Add 6 g of silica gel in 20 mL of hexane to make a slurry. Block column with small piece of glass wool, add 5 mL of hexane and then add the silica slurry up to the 10 cm mark.
