Does the amount of H2o affect the number of seeds germinated?

Hypothesis

ci28058 — 2024-08-23 17:16:50 UTC

H1- I think there will be a difference in the amount seeds germinated based on how much water is given.

Procedure

ci28058 — 2024-08-23 17:19:16 UTC

Step 1- measure out four differents measurments of water: 5ml, 10ml, 15ml, and 20 ml.

Step 2- pour the different measurements of water into four containers of the same size.

Step 3- add 10 beans into each container.

Step 4- leave the containers in the sunlight for 72 hours.

The water did affect the amount of beans germinated. This is proven in the data table. The data table shows that the bean's given 5 millileters of water germinated an average of 1.67 beans while 10 millileters of water germinated an average of 7.4. There is no overlap with the error bars showing the difference is drastic. This proves that the water did affect the amount of beans germinated because of how the beans with less water didn't have enough water to soften the seed coat, and kickstart the enzymes. The beansw ith more water had enough to activate the enzymes which are the catalyst to start respiration in the beans and allow them to grow.

The more fertilizer given to a duckweed would cause it to grow more because it would get more nutrients. This is shown in the data table. The table shows that the duckweed given 15 drops had the most growth and the duckweed with 0 drops had almost no growth and ended up with most of the duckweed dead. The more fertilizer given to a duckweed would cause it to grow more because it would get more nutrients. because it shows how the duckweed with more fertilizer grew more and the duckweed with less fertilizer barely grew and died.

Procedure

ci28058 — 2024-10-02 16:29:16 UTC

Step 1- measure out even increments of water into 4 cups.

Step 2- Place 10 duckweed into each cup.

Step 3- Drop varying amounts of fertilizer into each cup: 0, 5, 10, and 15.

Step 4- Check up every other day to record data.

Is there typically a higher number of biodiversity near water?

Hypothesis

ci28058 — 2024-10-02 16:33:00 UTC

H1- I think the biodiversity will be higher the closer to water it is.

Procedure

ci28058 — 2024-10-02 16:40:03 UTC

Step 1- Create 12 sticky traps.

Step 2- Place the sticky traps in various places near community pond: at the top of the hill, near the marsh, and by the water fall.

Step 3- Leave the traps out overnight.

Step 4- Collect the traps and collect data.

The biodiversity was higher the closer to water because of all of the riparian vegetation. The data table shows that the simpsons diversity index data was higher the closer to water the traps were. This proves my claim because the number of varying bugs was higher closer to the water. This is because near the water, there is a ton of riparian begetation that the bugs can feed off of. The water also provides a place for many bugs to lay their eggs.

Does the amount of light affect the CO2 levels in the container of spinach leaves?

Hypothesis

ci28058 — 2024-10-25 17:18:12 UTC

Procedure

ci28058 — 2024-10-28 16:52:13 UTC

Step 1- Collect the supplies. Grab a container, 15 spinach leaves, tin foil, and a CO2 sensor.

Step 2- Set it up. Place the spinach leaves in the container and add the CO2 sensor. Leave it for 5 minutes and record the data.

Step 3- Add tin foil to the container to block all light. Leave for 5 minutes and record data.

Step 4- Remove the spinach leaves. Leave for 5 minutes and record data.

The amount of light did affect the CO2 levels in the container of spinach leaves because of photosynthesis. This is proven by the data table. The data table shows that the container with spinach that had light decreased in CO2 by an average of 309.5. The data table also shows that the container of spinach thay had no light increased in CO2 by an average of 343.5. This shows that the amount of light does affect the CO2 levels in the container of spinach. This is because of photosynthesis. With proper lighting, the spinach leaves are able to perform photosynthesis. During this process, the spinach leaves filter the CO2 out of the air and turn it into glucose. In conclusion, the amount of light did affect the CO2 levels in the container of spinach leaves because of photosynthesis.

The concentration of sugar does affect percent mass change in potatoes because of osmosis. The data tables prove this by showing that the potatoes that came inot contact with a higher concentration of sugar ended up with a lower mass. In the data table, the potatoes in the cup with 0.8 had the highest decrease of 36%. This proves that the concentration of sugar does affect percent mass change in potatoes because of osmosis. Osmis is the action of water flowing between two places. The sugar concentration increased the amount of osmosis that occured.
