Which Pigment Of Light Has The Fastest Grow Lab Report

Decent Essays
Introduction: The problem being tested is which pigment of light causes the best growth of a bean seed. The experiment should show that the blue light will have the fastest growth. Following the blue light, red should show the second most efficient color for a plants growth. Therefore, the control light will be the least effective out of those three. This project was chosen because of interest of growth of plants inside instead of outside. The solutions to this experiment might help somebody who doesn’t have any outdoor space to plant.
Materials and Method: 30 plastic cups, 5 red transparent folder dividers, 5 blue transparent folder dividers, soil, organic bean seeds, stapler, water, and a ruler were used to perform this experiment First, 30 clear plastic cups were filled with soil. After that, a bean seed was placed in each cup. Then, half of a red transparent divider for folders was wrapped around the cup to make the light that goes through it look red. The procedure was repeated until 10 cups were reached. That procedure was repeated with half of a blue transparent divider for folders. Finally, the 30 blue, red, and control cups were placed under the same conditions and they received the same amount of water daily. Once seeds start germinating, the length of the plant was recorded in centimeters rounded to the nearest whole number from the top of

"Light Colors and plants" supports my conclusion in a way because it states that plants grow best under blue and also red light.The rain received at the beginning of this experiment may have caused many plants to die. Next time I conduct this experiment I would probably make sure I place the plants under a roof but also somewhere where they can get a good amount of sunlight. To improve this experiment I would try to grow different kinds of plants instead of just a bean seed and I would also try different colors of

    The first experiment on the effects of acid rain germination of radish seeds, materials used were twenty radish seeds, , acid rain solution, pH strips, paper towels, two petri dishes, and tap water. The second experiment on testing the effects acid rain had on radish plant growth, the materials used were twelve radish seeds, six plastic cups, potting soil, two acid rain solutions (one with a pH of 3and one with a pH of five), tap water, UV lights, and six plastic bags. These were all materials used throughout the course of the lab. The method used for testing the effects of acid rain on radish seed germination is rather simple.…

    The aim of the experiment was to find if Fertliser effected the growth of the Tomato plants. My prediction was that the fertilised plant will grow more then the plants that were water. The fertilied plants will grow more because the fertiliser has element that the water cant give the plants that make it grow. The elements that fertiliser has is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This is why the fertilised plants grew so much.…

    The problem that was tested in this experiment was, how will the color of light effect the germination of the radish seed? The experiment consisted of testing five germinating radish seeds under four different color lights, red, blue, green, and normal fluorescent light. The seeds were placed in a Petri dish covered in a wet paper towel and a piece of colored cellophane was also placed on top. The results were quite interesting because the seeds showed no difference in number of germination throughout the different light colors. Each color of light resulted in one slightly germinated seed, or 20% germinated radish seeds.…

    its color led to the formulation of this experiment. The experiment utilizes chloroplasts of spinach leaves to test the different color lights’ effects on photosynthesis. Green light is said to be the least effective at driving photosynthesis on the electromagnetic spectrum due to being mostly reflected and transmitted instead of being absorbed. Conversely, red light and white light is more effective at driving photosynthesis (Reece, 2011). Thus, a hypothesis was created stating that the rate of photosynthesis will be greater with a red light bulb compared to a green or white fluorescent light bulb.…
