The hypothesis is that as the population of plants in soil increases, the rate of growth of the plants will be reduced.

You will plant garlic chives seeds in 5 pots with different numbers of seeds in each pot. You will measure the height of the plants in each pot and calculate the average height.

You will need 1 packet of garlic chives seeds, 5 pots, soil, water, and a ruler.

The experiment showed that initially the plants in pots with more seeds grew faster than the plants in pots with fewer seeds. However, by day 6 the plants in all the pots had grown to almost the same height. From days 7 onwards, the plants in pots with fewer seeds were taller than the plants in pots with more seeds.

This science project is interesting because it shows how the number of plants affects their growth rate.

Variations: What would happen if the experiment was continued over a longer period? What if different plants were used? How about changing the mix of plants?

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
