Growing Plants Without Soil Science Project

Plant bean plant seeds about ¼ to ½ inch into the soil and cover loosely with a sprinkling of soil on the top. Make sure you gently cover each seed with a shallow layer of soil.

Prepare two soil pots with potting soil.

Growing plants without soil science project. You can choose to plant 2 containers of seeds and set one in direct sunlight near a window and one in complete darkness OR plant 3 containers and set one in complete sunlight near a window one in partial light and one in complete darkness it is important that there is NO light. We will start by creating a hydroponics container from the empty clean two-liter soda bottle. A plant only needs 5 major things in order to grow and thrive.

Growing plants without soil is known as hydroponics. Hydroponic growing mediums are less compact than earth so the roots get more air. In hydroponics the plant grows in a medium that retains moisture but does not contain nutrients.

Collect a small handful of basil seeds roughly 30 seeds and sprinkle them evenly around the top of each soil. The soil placed. Take three small plastic cups and fill them rough ¾ of the way with potting soil.

It may seem unnatural to grow plants without any soil. Instead the nutrients are mixed into the water. Why Plants Dont Need Soil.

An inert medium will not effect the pH of the nutrient solution. Is a science project that teaches kids just how many plants can be grown without dirt. Light Plants convert light energy into foodsugarsusing photosynthesis.

Believe it or not while most plants in nature grow in soil its possible to grow plants without it. Any variables between the soil and hydroponic plants can affect the experiment so try to keep variables nonexistent or at a low. A STEM Design Project Presented by Sharon A.

Plants can be grown in many different growing mediums such as gravel sand perlite vermiculite rockwool clay pellets bark or coconut fibre or in water or even air the roots hang in a mist of water. Place a thin layer of soil over the seeds. Get one inch 25 cm starter cubes.

The projects which aim to grow plants without soil teach computers to check mathematical proofs and use nanoparticles for cancer detection. Place three of the pots outside in a spot that receives lots of sunshine. Three projects that push the boundaries of science have received funds from the Presidents Excellence Fund for Frontier Research.

When plants are grown normally in soil this provides the nutrients but in hydroponics. This experiment tests whether plants need light to grow. However a plant doesnt necessarily need it.

In this project you will try hydroponicsthe process of growing plants without soil. Give the plants plenty of sun and keep them in the same climate. The growing medium we suggest for a project is Rockwool.

If the weather is too stormy or overcast position the pots under a grow light. Plant one bean seed in each pot. A hydroponics growing medium is completely inert.

Look Mom No Dirt. It does not provide anything but an anchor for the plant. Brusic ITEEA Conference Orlando FL on 03272014 2 Hydro-Plant Design Brief Context Sets the stage for the design challenge Defines topic Provides basic advantages of systems Challenge Working in.

Fill each pot with soil.
