Introduction
The purpose of this lab was to test one type of grass and four different types of soil in order to figure out which grass will grow tallest in 21 days. The hypothesis states that The Perennial Rye Grass will grow taller in the Miracle-Gro Organic Potting Mix than the other three grasses when given water over 21 days. The independent variable is the soil, the dependent variable is growth measured in height, and the control variables are as follows: 21 days of data collection, 1.5 mL of water a day, sunlight from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in greenhouse, temperature is about 70o F, 200ml of soil in each planter, five drainage holes made with a probe, .25 grams of seed, 1 cm into the soil, watered with 1.5ml twice a day and measured after the

Fill one planter with 200 ml of Miracle-Gro® Potting Mix, fill the second planter with 200 ml of Miracle-Gro® Seed Starting Potting Mix, fill the third planter with 200 ml of Miracle-Gro® Organic Potting Mix, fill the fourth planter with 200 ml of with Sunbury Christian Academy Soil. Measure .25 grams of seed with a balance, then place seeds one centimeter down into the soil of each of the planters. Label all of the planters as to identify the soil in each planter with a black Sharpie® Extreme black marker. Water the grass two times a day, once at 8 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. with 1.5 ml of distilled water using a disposable pipet. After the 8 a.m. watering, place the planters into the greenhouse. At the 12:30 watering, measure the height, in millimeters, of the tallest blade of grass in each of the planters. Record the measurement in the data table using. Remove from green house at 3:00 p.m. Repeat this process for 21 …show more content…
This soil caused the grass to constantly grow except when the grass was taken out of the greenhouse on weekends which caused less sunlight. This did cause some wilting. The Perennial Ryegrass planted in the Sunbury Christian Academy Soil grew the least. The Perennial Ryegrass planted in the Miracle Grow® Potting Mix grew to a height of 165mm. The Perennial Ryegrass planted in the Miracle the Miracle Grow® Seed Starting Potting Mix grew to a height of 140mm. It grew slightly slower and shorter than the Miracle Grow® Potting Mix. The lack of sunlight caused this also to wilt when it was removed from the greenhouse. The Perennial Ryegrass planted in the Miracle the Miracle Grow® Organic Potting Mix grew to a height of 152mm. The Miracle Grow® Organic Potting Mix sprouted up fast but did not grow as consistently as the Miracle Grow® Potting Mix. The lack of sunlight also caused the grass to wilt when taken from the greenhouse. The Perennial Ryegrass planted in the Miracle the Sunbury Christian Academy Soil grew to a height of 27mm. This soil did not react well with seeds and the seeds did not have much growth. The grass that did grow stayed at a constant height and didn’t grow

The average growing period (days between each molt) will be calculated for each sample. This will be calculated by adding the amount of days a newly molted milkweed bug appeared in the specific stadium up until more than 50% of the milkweed bugs are at that stadium. The days will then be averaged to find the average amount of days it takes for the milkweed bugs to develop into that stadium. The final data that we will collect is survivorship rates. This will be calculated by the amount of insects that stay alive throughout the experiment.
Prairie Bush Clover is an herbaceous perennial, a plant whose growth dies down annually but whose roots or other underground structures survive, that is a member of the legume family. Its native area is Midwest tall grass prairie. This Clover produces one stem that can grow up to a meter, are densely covered with fine hairs, and has a silver tint. Their leaves are pea-shaped, widely spaced throughout the stem, with three leaflets each, and also have a silvery tint. When this plant is mature, it produces pink flowers on that blooms from July to September.
If the experiment was completed again, more higher concentrations could be applied to the seeds to see if the data is further supported. Either way the more trials the better and more accurate results, this applies to any experiment. Practical applications of the principles of this investigation may be using the correct concentration for a specific plant or seed. This lab shows that it is necessary to follow the directions and specifications when using the fertilizer miracle
Grass and redfin pickerel are Diurnal, meaning they are most active and do most of their activities like feeding and spawning in the daytime. Grass and redfin pickerel are relatively solitary fish with interactions with other species beyond acts of predation. Though pickerel are solitary, their larvae gather in nursery areas in weedy swamps. When not in spawning season, they are sedentary and do not travel very far daily, but they do migrate to other areas in order to spawn. They will travel out of their area to feed, or in response to water level changes, but this is not as frequent.
It was the Kikuyu grass, and it was a very economical natural lawn solution. A tropical natural grass species native to Africa, Kikuyu grass is drought tolerant and cold tolerant. It also has good resistance to various lawn diseases and weeds. The Kikuyu grass is quick to establish as well. Unfortunately, Kikuyu’s one of the positive aspects is also its major drawback.
The most important result from this experiment is that it suggested that the increase of Carbon Dioxide, will drastically increase the growth mountain maple in the covered (from the sun) parts in a forest, in the meantime any increase in the temperature of the soil will nullify the increase of light, as we know is to be the main ingredient for photosynthesis. 5.

Document B states “Grass is what counts. It’s what saves us all – far as we get saved…. Grass is what holds the earth together.” This clearly refers to the fact that grass hold the soil in place. However, when it was time to farm farmers had to plow their land in order
Second, the experimenters has to fill up a measuring cup until the water reaches 200 mL. Third, the experimenters will fold the paper towel in half three
Based on these results, it is hypothesized that if the amount of topsoil increases by 25% then plant growth increases because topsoil contains essential nutrients required for proper plant
To have a healthy plant with good roots, you must cultivate the soil.
This vegetation doesn't develop roots, thus no soil is needed. Moss grows on lawns for these and other reasons. The growth may be associated with excessive shade or it may be a matter of poor drainage. In addition, when the soil

Introduction: In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.
The fertilizer will encourage the grass to develop healthy, new growth and a strong root system. An adequate, balanced fertilizer will create a thick lawn that will be able to more easily combat weeds by choking them out. Apply fertilizer when the grass begins to show signs of breaking dormancy. Grass roots will grow when the temperature is between 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Its top growth will develop when the temperature reaches 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
