Plant Growth (Light and Water) - Results Tables

The data presented outlines two separate experiments designed to investigate the factors affecting plant growth, specifically focusing on the influence of light and liquid. The first experiment examines the effect of light on plant growth by exposing plants to different light conditions: white, green, yellow, red, and no light at all. The growth of the plants is measured in millimeters over a four-week period, with the intention of comparing how each light condition affects the length of the plants. This comparative study aims to understand the impact of light colour on the photosynthetic process and overall plant development.

The second experiment delves into the effect of various liquids on plant growth. In this set-up, plants are watered with different liquids: water, milk, tea, cola, and orange juice. Similar to the light experiment, the growth of these plants is tracked over four weeks and measured in millimeters. The objective is to observe how different liquids, which contain varying nutrients and chemicals, influence the growth rate and health of the plants. Both experiments utilise results tables to systematically record the weekly growth measurements, providing a clear framework for analysing the outcomes and drawing conclusions about the optimal conditions for plant growth.
