Plant Growth

Question: How does the amount of water affect plant growth?

Scientific Method:
1. 3 different varieties of plants were selected for this experiment.
4 of each of the varieties were planted in a pot with holes in the bottom to allow for drainage.
A. Cactus
B. Lobelia
C. Primrose

2. The plants were planted in organic potting soil the potting soil had the proper nutrients needed for all of the plants.

3. The plants were healthy and alive when they were planted.

4. The plants were separated into four groups (red, blue, yellow, and green), and each group had one of each of the three different types of plants.

5. Each other day for two weeks the plants were watered.
Red group received two sprays of water from a spray bottle.
Blue group received an eye dropper full of water.
Yellow group received two tablespoons full of water.
Green group received ¼ of a cup of water.

6. This place is where you tell what you saw and therefore what plants should be planted in areas of California where there are water shortages. Yucaipa is one of these areas.
