8/3/2019 Affect of Salt Water in Plants Growth
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/affect-of-salt-water-in-plants-growth 1/1
This project was performed to determine
how different concentrations of salt water effect plants. The test that will be
performed will prove which concentration will have the worst effect. The hypothesisis that by measuring the plants growth each day, the largest concentration of salt will
harm the plants the most.
First, the plants were purchased and the water was prepared with the salt
concentrations. Second, the plants were watered each day with the different
concentrations of salt. Third, the plants' growth were observed and recorded each day
for approximately 15 days.
A concentration of salt previously exists in soil. When the salt water concentration
was added, the concentration of salt in the soil increased, therefore harming thegrowth of the plants. In comparing the results after an average was calculated from
each concentration of salt, it was determined that the 8 and 6 ounce salt water
concentrations harmed the plant growth the most. The water did not harm the growth
and showed no visual effects on the plants. The experiment could have gone wrong in
several ways. When the salt was measured for the salt water concentration, the
measurements could have varied. When the plants were watered each day, the
measurements could have varied If this project was to repeated, the period of time
should be extended so that the plants can be grown from seeds. Another experiment
might be the effect of man-made salt water and ocean water on plants.
