Botany Science Fair Project

Plant Growth Comparison

Medium
Plant Growth Comparison | Science Fair Projects | STEM Projects
We're testing to see if two different growth hormones can help plants grow faster than without hormones. We'll take two different types of plant cuttings and dip them in two different types of growth hormones. Then, we'll plant them and observe how they grow.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that the cuttings with the plant hormones will grow faster than the cuttings without the hormones.

Method & Materials

You will take nodal cuttings from Geraniums and Impatiens, dip them in two different types of plant hormones, plant them in soil with a heating cable, and place them in a greenhouse with a grow light.
You will need two different types of plant hormones, Geraniums and Impatiens cuttings, soil with a heating cable, and a grow light.

Results

The results showed that the cuttings with the plant hormones grew faster and had more developed roots than the cuttings without the hormones. The industrial version of the hormone was more effective than the over-the-counter version.

Why do this project?

This science project is interesting because it shows how plant hormones can help plants grow faster and more efficiently.

Also Consider

Experiment variations to consider include testing different types of plants and different types of hormones.
