  1. Experiments with Phototropism. Plants move—not very quickly compared to animals, but they do move. Their roots grow downward in response to gravity, and their stems grow upward toward the Sun. In this plant biology science fair project, you will investigate how young plants respond through movement to light.

  2. Experiment with Plant Growth Science Projects. (26 results) Garden and grow plants in all sorts of ways-- in different light, soils, water, and more. Test how fruits ripen, plant seeds, grow a garden in water, or start with plantlets rather than seed. Learn to measure plant growth accurately. Hydroponics: Gardening Without Soil.

    Because of the natural variability in plant growth, you may need to adjust this procedure in order to get good results. For example, you may need to expose the plants to light for more or less time...
    The objective of this science fair project is to expose the plants to different amounts of light, with the light coming from the side, so that the plants will bend toward it. To begin, you'll label...
    Ultimately, you will need three trials of this project to make sure your results are consistent. You can either run them one at a time, or run them concurrently.
    Using the permanent marker, label the sides of the milk cartons with the numbers 1–5.
    For carton # 1, cut off the top of the carton with the scissors.
    For carton # 2, do not make any holes.
    For the following cartons, use the hole punch to make holes in one side of each carton, about 6 cm from the bottom. You will need to open the top of the milk carton to make the holes.
    Put about 3 centimeters (cm) of moist potting soil into each carton. Keep the amount of soil equal in each carton.
    Moisten the potting soil with water. It should just be moist, not saturated.
    Put four seeds in each carton. Bury the seeds to a depth of about 1 cm, or follow the directions on the seed package for the recommended depth. Plant all of the seeds at the same depth.
    Use the permanent marker to put a letter on the side of the carton near each seed so that you can identify them as they grow. For example, label them A, B, C and D, with markings inside the carton.
    Check carton #1 each day. Wait until the seeds in carton #1 have germinated and grown about 3 cm. Then begin the exposure to light for the plants in cartons 3–5 (remember, carton #2 stays sealed)....
    Using the scissors, remove the foil only from over the hole in carton #3. Leave the rest of the foil in place to keep the plant in darkness, except for the light from the one hole.
    Remove the foil only from over the holes in cartons #4 and #5. Leave the rest of the foil in place to keep the plant in darkness, except for the light from the holes.
    Record the time and date that the plants were exposed to light in your lab notebook.
  3. May 1, 2023 · 20 Ideas of Plant Science Fair Projects for High School Students. Now that we have discussed some ideas for getting started on creating your own plant science fair project, let’s take a look at some project examples for high school students! Plants + Technology: Research how to grow a plant using technology. Create your own experiment.

  4. Jul 21, 2017 · Make sure to choose fast-growing plants for your science experiment--unless you plan on spending months taking data. Examples of fast-growing plants are marigolds, zinnias, sunflowers, radishes, beans, cucumbers and cress. Make sure to use seeds from the same package in your experiment so that the type of liquid is your only variable.

  6. Mar 25, 2024 · 3. Design a Pollinator Garden. My children and I designed and created a pollinator garden in our boulevard and shared the experience at my son's school's science fair. My son wanted to make a small butterfly garden, so researched a variety of native plants that provide food and shelter for native butterflies in our area.
