![]() | Examine the effect of plant hormones on radish seeds ![]() We are going to investigate the affects of two of those hormones on the growth of radish seeds. This experiment will also investigate the phenomenon of geotropism. A tropism is a growth response of a plant to an environmental influence. Phototropism is the typical growth of plants toward light that most of you have seen. This phenomenon is introduced in your textbook where the discovery of plant | ||

![]() | Does one bad apple spoil the whole bunch? Does one bad apple spoil the whole bunch? How might one ripening fruit signal others to begin to ripen? What might cause synchrony? Plants use hormones to communicate among tissues. In this experiment, students are introduced to a technique used to evaluate the ripeness of fruit. They design experiments to test hypotheses about the role of hormones in synchronizing fruit ripening in apples. | ||

![]() | Simple experiments to explain the role of phytohormones in plants The plant hormones or phytohormones are involved in all the stages of plant life from pollinisation - inducing the fecondation and the zygotic embryo development, all the way through its development into an adult plant - to flowering, development of the fruit and senecence control.
The same phytohormones not only control the growth and development processes: for that, they are crucially | ||

![]() | Aquatic plants and animals and the acidification of our oceans ![]() ![]() This experiment was performed to ascertain the effect of aquatic plants on the acidity levels of our oceans. Carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere have been on the rise mainly due to the burning of fossil fuel and deforestation. The results of this experiment will ascertain whether aquatic plants help to reduce the acidification of our oceans, via the process of photosynthesis. | ||

![]() | The relationship between the pH level of soil and plant growth ![]() ![]() This science fair project was conducted to examine the relationship between the pH level of soil and plant growth. Specifically, what is the ideal pH level at which Kentucky bluegrass grows? Kentucky bluegrass was grown in soils that had different pH levels (6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0). | ||
