The document describes an experiment testing how different liquids affect the growth of pansy plants. The hypothesis was that soft drinks and a bathroom concoction would kill the plants, sea water would slowly kill plants, and rain water would allow plants to live happily. Over one week, the plants were given 6 teaspoons of different liquids daily and observed. Results showed tap water and rain water supported best growth, while the bathroom concoction killed the plant. The experiment concludes best choice for pansies is tap water and relates to improving plant growth to help counteract human environmental impacts.

2. Question/Aim
 How do different
liquids effect
plant (Pansies)
growth.

3. Hypothesis
 Soft drinks: The leaves will fall of
the plant will die.
 Bathroom Concoction: Everything
will shrivel up, fall off and die.
 Sea Water: Plant will die quite
slowly.
 Rain water: Plant will live happily
and NOT die.
 Tap Water: Plant will die quite
slowly and flowers will change
colour.

4. Test
 Feed pansies 6 teaspoons of
certain liquid per day at around
5:00 p.m & take photo of
(LABLED) plant, for one week.

5. Equipment
 Teaspoons (1 each=6)
 Soft drinks
 Bathroom Concoction
 Tap Water
 Sea Water
 Rain Water (225 Ml per liquid)
 Pansies (one per person=6)
 Ice cream containers (one per person)

6. Results
 Tuesday- (Start of Experiment) - One flower is looking ill but the
rest is OK including the leaves and roots.
 Wednesday- Same as yesterday, except a few leaves which have
fallen off and crumpled up and a flower thats dying.
 Thursday- Like yesterday, except that some leaves near the soil
are dead and the flower that was dying is now dead.
 Friday- 2nd flower beggining to die. (seawater seems to effect
flowers), Leaves are starting to turn yellow and gold.
 Saturday- 2nd flower dead and some leaves are also dead. My
theory: this species of plant probably dislikes seawater, because
Pansies usually aren't found planted near the ocean).
 Sunday- Same as Yesterday but as I was inspecting the plant I
found a leaf that had a part of it that was Transpareable-ish gray.
 Monday- All of the other alive flowers have their petals curling
inwards. Leaves as green as ever.

11. Variables
Independent:
None

12. Variables
Dependent:
 The health of the plant.
 Colour of leaves and flowers

13. Variables
Controlled:
 What I water the plant with
 When I water the plant
 How I water the plant

14. How this relates to Sharing The Planet
 This can relate to sharing the
planet by Humans intervening
and watering plants with a new
man-made formula or liquid,and
cause a positivity, and help try
and make up for all of the
negative things humans have
done to all kinds of vegetation.

15. Conclusion
 The best choice out of these for
Pansies is Tap water and if your
pipes break your Pansies won't
last a full week!

16. Application
 Maybe for when a scientist wants to
get plants to reproduce faster like
rainforest trees because people are
chopping them down too fast for them
to reproduce again, they could try and
make a liquid for the tree, shrub etc,
that they're trying to preserve and
that liquid would help it produce
better or faster resources. E.g: wood,
fruit, vegetables etc.
