Together, we have taken a crop science class so we are familiar with germination and basic plant science. We have discovered that radishes like moisture and it seems they are fairly easy to grow. A question that interests us is which soil will produce the best yield. |
Research Question |
How can agronomy Feed the World? |
Predictions |
One soil of the two will provide better growing conditions. We predict that the worm soil will produce higher yield and healthier plant growth. |
Experimental Design |
Soil 1(construction soil):
We will plant the soil in planters in Miranda’s class. Amanda will be planting the soil in the pot, until it reaches the brim.
Then Joelynn will open up a half inch hole in a triangle so we can place the radish seed (3).
Then Lizette will water until the bottom drips excess.
You would need to feel the soil, when it is moist it is water enoughed
Martha will record the growth of the plants daily and take pictures once towards the end of the week.
Soil 2: (construction with worms)
Lizette will provide three worms from her backyard.
We will plant the soil in planters in Miranda’s class. Amanda will be planting the soil in the pot, until it reaches the brim and mix in 3 worms.
Then Joelynn will open up a half inch hole in a triangle so we can place the radish seed (3).
Lizette will be watering until the water comes out of the drainage holes.
You would need to feel the soil, when it is moist it is water enoughed
Martha will record the experiment.
Soil 3: (construction with 1 cup of miracle growth)
We will plant the soil in planters in Miranda’s class. Amanda will be planting the soil in the pot, until it reaches the brim.
She will add a cup of miracle soil and mix well with the construction site soil.
Then Joelynn will open up a half inch hole in the center so we can place the radish seeds.
Then Lizette will water until the bottom drips excess.
Lizette will be watering until the water comes out of the drainage holes.
