    Capsule Research Proposal for Grade 9 (Quantitative)

    Study Title: How does Music Impact Plant Growth?

    Section: 9A

    Researchers of the Audrey Cherrylia Iskandar, Jazshelyn Anne Santoso, Joceline


    Study: Vilasa Sudibyo, and Kelly Austin Lie

    STUDY DESCRIPTION:

    Rationale: Climate change is causing crop failure and leading to price


    hikes across the world as reported by the World Bank. Rice for
    example, according to ANTARA News, the Indonesian
    government had to point out that the amount of rice consumed
    has not changed, but production has decreased, resulting in a
    supply shortage. Therefore a solution we will propose is using
    music to increase the growth rate of plants.

    Research Questions

    1. Do the vibrations of different music genres have an


    effect on how fast plants grow?

    2. Is there a specific range of frequency that can be


    beneficial for plant growth?

    3. Are plants capable of sensing and responding to


    vibrations?

    Significance of the Our topic can help provide a positive change in our food
    Topic system by using an alternative method instead of chemical
    products. Chemical products are a big problem because they
    can contaminate the environment around them. But with
    music, it benefits the plant's growth and the environment, by
    using an environmental-friendly method.

    Review of Related Information # 1: For most plants playing classical or jazz


    Literature: music caused growth to increase, while harsher metal music
    induced stress. This may be because the vibrations of metal
    music are too intense for plants and stimulate cells a little
    too much. We think of this like massaging your plant with a
    song – they prefer a gentler touch.

    Information # 2: A researcher engaged in a few highly


    controlled greenhouse experiments. He found that soy and
    corn plants exposed to music were thicker and greener with
    significantly larger yields.

    Information # 3: Plants detect vibrations and respond that will


    increase their fitness. It is similar to how animals use sounds.

    Information # 4: Sound also affects the metabolism of plants.


    This is because when sound waves hit cell walls they increase
    the rate of transportation within the cell.

    Information # 5: Intriguingly, plants respond to specific sound


    frequencies in ways that enhance their growth and well-being.

    METHODS:
    Research Design: There are numerous studies that support that music does help
    a plant’s growth. That’s why we chose a research design that
    will utilise this information by controlled experiments. We're
    investigating the potential of music to improve crop yields by
    testing the effects of different genres on the growth rate and
    unraveling the underlying mechanisms behind any observed
    responses.

    Research Locale: We will conduct our experiment in our school’s scientific


    laboratory.

    Variables: Independent Variable: Type of music

    Dependent Variable: Growth of the plant

    Controlled Variable: Temperature and amount of water given

    Materials and
    Equipment: 1. 30 Rosa Chinensis plants (grafted on same day from
    same mother plant
    2. Pots (similar sizes)
    3. Mud (same amount)
    4. Music player
    5. Measuring tape
    6. Scale

    Data Collection
    Procedure:
    1.Thirty Rose plants (Rosa chinensis) will be purchased from
    the flower shop.
    2. The plants will be divided into five groups.
    3.Each group will be potted in similar sized pots with equal
    amounts of mud.
    4. Each group will be subjected to one of the following types of
    music, Indian Classical music, Vedic chants, Western Classical
    music, and Rock music while one group is kept in silence as
    the control group.
    5.The elongation of shoot, internode elongation, the number of
    flowers and the diameter of the flowers will be recorded and
    studied over a period of 60 days.

    Statistical Tool:
    Some of these tools can be:
    1.Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
    2. Descriptive Statistics (Mean. Median, Mode, Variance,
    Standard Deviation)
    3. T-test
    4. Pearson r- correlation
    5. Regression Analysis
