    Introduction

    Research on plant development sheds light on fundamental biological processes such


    photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and environmental adaptation. Among the many plants used in
    growth tests, pea plants are typically selected due to their controlled size and quick growth.
    Determining how much water would be a sustainable amount for the pea plants' growth was
    something my group thought would be fascinating. We were informed about the proper water
    amounts at the start of our experiment. I had very little experience raising plants, much less pea
    plants, before this attempt. To grow the pea, I knew I would need soil, water, and sunlight. When
    I was around eight years old, I assisted my dad in planting trees around the home to provide
    seclusion. I didn't know what I was doing and didn't really help my dad, but I did know that trees
    need water, the correct climate, and sunlight to grow large and sturdy. We investigated how much
    water would impact the peas' growth in this experiment.

    Materials and Methods

    The purpose of this experiment was to examine how pea plants grew in each cup with different
    water levels. Three plastic cups, fifteen peas, and twelve cm of dirt were used by my group and
    me. We placed five peas in each cup. Three centimeters of soil were placed on the bottom of
    each cup, and then another centimeter of soil was added on top of the peas. Between the three
    glasses, we used 90 milliliters of water. We began the experiment by filling one cup with thirty
    milliliters of water—more than we needed—the second cup with the appropriate amount of
    water, and the third cup with no water at all. Following the completion of the experiment's setup,
    we put all three cups in the lab's window seal and allowed them to sit and grow for a few days
    before returning to measure the pea plants' growth.

    Results

    We visited the lab to see how the pea plants were doing on October 2. Each cup's soil was
    extremely dry, and they showed no signs of growth. At this stage, we filled the 40-militer and
    30-milliliter cups with 10 milliliters of water and replaced them in the window seal. We went
    back to the lab a few days later to see how the pea plants were doing and to see how adding extra
    water had affected them. As seen in Figure 1, the first 40 and 30-milliliter cups began to sprout a
    week after the experiment began on October 4th and additional water was added; the cup without
    water has yet to sprout. We put the peas back in the wind seal to continue growing after noticing
    the tiny sprouts and decided not to add any more water. We made our last observations on
    October 9. As seen in Figure 2, the first 40 mL cup expanded 1.5 inches, the initial 30 mL cup
    grew 4 inches, and the cup without any water did not grow at all.
    Discussions and Conclusions

    The findings of this experiment with pea plants were intriguing. I had doubts about the pea
    plants' ability to grow at one point. I believe there may have been mistakes because we did not
    grow as much as some of the other groups did. Finally, repeating the procedures of our
    experiment with other water measurements and additional materials would be a useful follow-up.
    Additionally, maintain the pea plants outside under constant sunlight. Instead of growing on a
    windowsill, I believe the pea plants would thrive outside. My group was happy with the
    outcome; our only wish was that our plants would get larger.
