2. why we chose it
• We chose this question because we love
plants and we wanted to know if they
had feelings so it’ll take the hastle out
of growing plants. Also so our world
can be more green and to see how our
plants will grow better.
3. Hypothesis-What we think
• We think plants do have feelings and if
you treat them with kindness they will
grow better.
5. Test-Method
• Get three flower plants
• Put a sticks in each flower pot for support.
• Treat one nicely by speaking happy every day
• Treat one badly by speaking really grumpy and
just leave the other one.
• Feed them 2x a day and keep them inside the
living room on the window sill. ( same place)
• Speak to them 2x a day when we feed them.
Take them out of the room and speak to them.
6. Observations Week 1
First day nothing happened.
It is the second day and the treat nice plant is straight and the treat bad plant is leaning over and
the leave alone plant is a little bit leaning over.
The third day Still the same.
fourth day The treat bad plant has grown the first flower.
fifth Day Still the same.
sixth The leave alone plant is the second plant to grow a flower.The treat bad plant is growing
very fast.The treat nice has grown much taller.
seventh Day the treat bad plant is growing very fast.
the treat nice plant is grown much taller.
still the same
the leave alone plant grew 2cm taller .
the treat good plant and the treat bad plant both grew a little bit taller
7. OBSERVATIONS Week 2
The leave alone plant made a big improvement by 3cm taller.
still the same.
all of the plants grew a little bit taller.
I have realized that the leave alone plant at the moment is the best.
The treat bad plant has almost grown a full flower.
Nothing has happened to day.
I have realized that the treat bad plant has the most flowers but is leaning to the side a bit .
I have realized that the treat good plant is the tallest but doesn’t look as good and the leave
alone plant is the best.
The only two that changed is the treat bad and the control plant the treat bad plant is 26cm
and the control plant is 23cm.
The control plant is 24.3cm
8. Result
Final measurement- The treat good plant is NOT MUCH TALLER THAN THE CONTROL
PLANT.
THE TREAT BAD PLANT HAD THE MOST FLOWERS AND THE FIRST TO HAVE FLOWERS
The control plants flowers are dying and is 29.5 the treat bad plant is also dying and is 29.6 cm the
treat good plant has got perfect flowers and is 34cm.
The treat good plant is 36cm . The treat bad plant is 30cm and the control is sill the same
9. Result
• The control plants flowers are dying
and the plant is 29.5 cm . The treat bad
plants flowers are also dying and is 29.6
cm. The treat good plant has got perfect
flowers and is 34cm.This is we think
because it flowered last.
• The treat good plant is 36cm the treat
bad plant is 30 cm and the control plant
is still the same .
10. Conclusion-Was my prediction
right !
From our test we have learnt that our
hypothesis was not really right. Although the
treat nice plant is the tallest it wasn’t the first to
have flowers. The treat bad plant ended up
leaning over and the flowers were dying BUT
IT HAD THE MOST FLOWERS!
The control plant turned out to be to smallest and didn’t have many
flowers.Over the first two weeks we thought that the control plant was
the best but one week later that had all changed a lot.
So we conclude that talking nicely to plants
does not make much difference to the growth of
a plant.
11. Future Directions
• Keep a distance away when talking to the
plants ...maybe our breath created a draught and
they didn’t like it.
• I could try soft music playing all day and loud
metallic heavy metal type music.
• The plants would have to be in separate rooms! I
could have tested more than 1 plant maybe a
group of 3 treat good and 3 treat bad.
I really enjoyed my testing and I hope to
have fun next year.
