Decent Essays
This project was to find the effect of caffeine on the Basil plants. We had seven pots, there was one contral, 2 pots had 400 mg of caffeine. Another 2 pots had 800 mg of caffeine, and the last two pots had 1600 mg of caffeine. The plants were watered every other day ⅓ of a cup of water. The plants were kept in a screened porch and got plenty of sunlight. There were five seeds in each pot, each seed was put ¼ an inch down in the soil. The plants soil was miracle grow soil, Everything was kept in the same conditions and the only difference was the amount of caffeine in each pot. The Caffeine was in tablets and we put them in the pots an inch down in the soil. The plants with caffeine were affected and did not grow. The hypothesis was right

    Each lab table was responsible for growing a pea plant. Nine pea plants were planted in total. The pea plants were separated into three groups. The first group was without any auxin, the second group had 500 ppm of auxin, and the last group had 5,000 ppm of auxin. The growth of the pea plants were recorded and ranked using a Wilcoxon test to determine which peas showed significant growth.…

    Group A, the control was the healthiest of the three groups, however group C grew to be the overall highest 17.75 cm. This occurrence could be due to the plastic bags are plants replaced in. Group A showed signs that the plastic bags limited plant growth. The stem of the plants in group A where folded over top of themselves like a ribbon. This leads me to believe that the plastic bags would’ve been removed, group A would have outperformed group C in…

    My STEAM Expo experiment was testing which hamster food gives hamsters the most energy to hamsters. I tested three store brand foods: Carefresh Complete, Sunseed, and Nibble Rings. I also tested one that I made based off of the research that I did prior to the experiment. I thought that this project was perfect for my three hamsters, because they are all very tired and lazy. I also think that other people can use my type of food so that their hamsters can be energetic, too.…

    The reason for doing the following experiments is to see how contaminantswill affect the ground water. For experiment one my hypothesis is as follows: If oil is dumped onthe ground, then the soil will be able to stop the oil from reaching and contaminating thegroundwater. Also if vinegar and laundry detergent are dumped on the ground, then the soil willnot be able to stop these agents from reaching and contaminating the groundwater. For experiment two my hypothesis is as follows: If water mixed with soil is passedthrough a filtration system, then it will be free of soil.…

    The results highlighted a correlation, but we are not quite sure if the results yielded a causation. The arithmetic mean for the control group is 29.048. This signifies that in 2 minutes, the average subject tested scored 29 out of a total 36 or an 80.68% percent accuracy. On the other hand, the average for the our experiment group, the subjects give gatorade, is 30.524 or an 84.78 percent accuracy. The results slightly improved for the experiment, but it is highly unlikely that this is due to the actual gatorade consumption.…

    Problem: Among three basil plants that will be watered differently, how much water will a basil plant need daily to stay healthy if I pour a quarter of a pitcher in plant A, a half pitcher in plant B, and one pitcher in plant C? Hypothesis: My assumption is that plant B will be the healthiest because it seems that plant A will have an insufficient amount of water, and plant C will have too much water, making the basil plant too turgid, resulting into temporary to permanent wilting, leading to plant B having the right amount of water for a healthy plant. Procedure: I will start off this experiment by purchasing three young (enough to determine growth) basil plants from a local department store such as Home Depot or Lowes. To set up the experiment,…

    Radish Seed Experiment

    • 6 Pages

    Abstract This experiment is about the effect of microwave radiation exposure on the percent that radish seeds germinate. The hypothesis in this experiment is if the radish seed is placed in the microwave for 8 minutes, then the percent of germinated seeds would be the lowest out of all the times. This experiment is important because if something happens and radish seeds are exposed to microwave radiation people would be able to know if the radishes would germinate if they knew the time they were exposed. This could also be used to find out if people could grow radishes in space because there is a lot of microwave radiation.…

    My claim states that cinnamon does not affect lettuce germination except for one direct replicate but this could have been invalid. Three pieces of evidence that support my claim are controlled groups had the most germination, only one direct group had germination, and no indirect groups had any germination. Five replicates were ran during the experiment. In each controlled group there were three to five roots that sprouted in an average of 2.34cm. In the direct groups, one out of the five groups sprouted roots.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to find the affect of salt on the temperature of boiling water. Each time I added more salt the temperature was higher than the last one. From the data I collected it shows that the more salt you add the higher the temperature. If you add salt to boiling water the temperature will increase. The data collected shows that my hypothesis was correct because the average number of the different amounts of salt was higher than the last one.…

    The drinks we have chosen for our project is water which will be our constant, sweet tea because it is a common drink in the south, and soda, which we will be using Dr.Pepper because it was the class favorite. Sweet tea contains 0.106 mg caffeine per ml of liquid, Dr. Pepper contains 0.116 mg caffeine per ml of liquid, and water contains 0.000 mg caffeine per ml of liquid. This means that the Dr. Pepper contains the most caffeine of the three drinks we have chosen ( Sinclair and Geiger, 2000). Caffeine “is a stimulant of the central…

    According to my data, our hypothesis was inaccurate. The control plant grew an average of 13 millimeters a day with an overall straight posture and 1-2 leaves, whereas the miracle grow plant never sprouted. The creek water bean plant grew an average of 12 millimeters a day with an overall straight posture and 1-2 leaves. I believe that the science behind the seed dying is because of an error. The error was how much miracle grow I added to the water.…

    Caffeine Extraction

    • 6 Pages

    Caffeine can be initially extracted from tea leaves by boiling it in water and isolated through liquid-liquid extraction with the usage of dichloromethane and other solvents (Rebecca, Candace Seshiah, & Tissopi, 2006). Water extraction and organic solvents extraction, that uses chemicals such as methylene chloride and dichloromethane, are the most common methods for further removal of caffeine from tea (Lou et al., 2012). The objectives of this experiment are to isolate, purify, and characterize caffeine from tea leaves and to calculate the percent yield of extracted caffeine. The experiment focuses on the extraction of caffeine from the standard green tea of the brand name Lipton and disregards other types of teas such as black tea, oolong tea, and white tea.…
