Science Experiment

We set up a Science experiment on Monday the 15th of June to find out which plant would grow faster, the one with fertiliser or the one without.

The equipment we used for the experiment included a pot, soil, 70ml water, cress seeds.

I predicted that the plant with the fertiliser would grow the quickest..

To set up a fair experiment I made sure both plants had the same amount of water and sunlight every day.

Everyday we observed how much the plants had grown. The cress without fertiliser had grown to 4cm and looked very healthy.  The cress with the fertiliser had only grown a little and it didn’t look as healthy.

My prediction was wrong I thought that the fertiliser would make the cress grow quicker and the plant would look healthier but this wasn’t what happened.

The cress in the yellow dish is the plant without fertiliser.
