    The document describes an experiment to determine how the type of water affects the growth of marigolds. It hypothesizes that marigolds watered with freshwater will grow more than those watered with saltwater, due to marigolds not typically growing near oceans. The experiment involves planting marigold seeds in pots, watering some with freshwater, some with saltwater, and leaving others unwatered as a control. It finds that the marigolds watered with freshwater grew taller than those watered with saltwater, supporting the hypothesis. The saltwater marigolds began dying after two weeks, likely due to dehydration from the salt.

    DOES THE TYPE

    OF WATER
    AFFECT
    MARIGOLD
    GROWTH?

    An experiment on plant growth Moore 7.4 Plant Science

    QUESTION
    How does the type of water
    that a marigold is watered
    with affect its growth?

    ABSTRACT

    People can own plants anywhere they live at. And


    the water that they give the plant is crucial to its
    survival;. This experiment will determine which
    type of water is best for the survival of the
    marigold. In order to figure this out, I will have to
    make sure that both, the amount of water, and
    the amount of dirt in each cup remains the same
    throughout the entire experiment. I hypothesize
    That the freshwater will help the marigold grow
    the most due to its lack of salt.

    HYPOTHESIS
    If I give the marigolds freshwater
    then they will grow more
    because marigolds are not
    typically found near oceans.

    MATERIALS
    Take 15 identical pots
    Dirt
    Water
    Salt water
    Ruler
    Marigold seeds
    Somewhere to record the data

    PROCEDURE
    Grab your 15 pots and place them in an
    area that gets lots of sunlight.
    Fill the pots with dirt of the way.
    Put the marigold seeds in the center of
    the pot and conceal it within the dirt.
    Organize the pots into rows
    Water the first five marigolds with
    freshwater
    Leave the middle row without water
    Water the last five marigolds with
    saltwater

    VARIABLES
    My independent variable was the type of
    water that I would be giving the marigold.
    My control variables will be the Marigold
    without any water, the temperature, the
    location, type of plant and the dirt.
    My dependent variable will be the height of
    the marigolds.

    SAFETY CONCERNS
    Dont drink the saltwater and you should
    be fine.

    RESULTS

    My results showed that the


    marigolds that were grown in
    freshwater had grown more
    than the marigolds that were
    grown in the saltwater.

    CONCLUSION
    My hypothesis was supported because the
    marigolds that were watered with the
    freshwater grew the most. I also noticed
    after the fourteenth trial the saltwater
    marigold began to die, probably because
    of the sodium dehydrating the marigold.
