I chose plants as my topic for my science project. The book Horticulture was my main resource outside of just plain knowledge. I had only 1 measurement which was the height of the plant. My hypothesis is that the plant with the water would grow the fastest and tallest, because that’s what I’m simply use to.

The materials that I needed was very easy to come by. 1st. I needed to get 3 pots to put them in, which I chose 16oz plastic cups. 2nd. I had to find soil(dirt) and seeds to start my project. A quick stop to my grandmothers house was the easiest. She always have everything on hand. Next, I simply put 1 cup of soil in each cup as well as 2 bean seeds. I watered the 1st cup with water, 2nd cup with milk, and the last one with juice. In each cup I used only ½ cup of each liquid. Last but most important, I sat all 3 cups in my kitchen window to let the sunlight do it’s job.

The 1st few weeks, I noticed that the cup with milk in it started to spoiled and carry an awful smell. I watered the plants every 2 days. The cup with the cool-aid in was always wet, but I continued to pour more juice in it any way. The next couple of weeks, I continued to watch and observe but I saw nothing happening. The last couple of weeks, I still didn’t see anything growing. My grandmother told me that I over watered, milked, and juiced the plants too much. I decided to make it better by adding 1 more bean seed to each cup. The processing of observing the plants was going be harder but better since I doubled the growth.

Waiting, waiting, and waiting is all I had to do now. As I waited I thought about the facts that I’ve learned by no listening to my grandmother by over feeding the plants. 1st fact was that if it doesn’t look hungry don’t feed it. 2nd fact is to make sure that each plant gets equal but the correct amount of sunlight. Every plant needs sunlight to strengthen its
