Impact of Climate Change on Plant Growth

June 25, 2016 Dr Cannon Leave a comment

S3 have been investigating the impact of climate change on plant growth. We planted cress seeds and exposed them to different conditions aimed at simulating drought, normal and flood conditions. Some of the plants were cultivated in mini greenhouses to mimic warmer temperatures. The results from our experiment are plotted in this graph. Flooding conditions gave the least plants growth, drought conditions allowed the plants to grow but not as well as normal watering. Our experiment shows that extreme changes in weather can impact plant growth.

7/6/2016 As part of our dead earth investigation we are studying climate change, its potential causes and the impact it has on our lives. First drafts of our Natural Disaster investigations. We are going to review each others work and make changes to improve on our first drafts.

We have assessed our work using the following criteria;
