    The experiment aimed to determine the effect of soil type and water amount on plant growth. Mung beans were planted in loam, clay, and sand soils and watered once or twice daily. Observations found that plants in loam soil grew the most, while those in clay and sand did not grow at all. Plants watered twice daily in loam soil grew taller than those watered once daily, supporting the hypothesis that plant growth is best in fertile soil with adequate water.

    Mung Beans

    A Science Experiment

    Campillan, Roshell Ann


    Garcia, Beatriz Marie
    Octaviano, Cassandra
    ABSTRACT
    • The objective of this experiment is to
    determine the effect of the different
    amounts of water and type of soil on
    plant growth. The experiment will be
    carried out by watering monggo beans
    with different amount of water, placing
    them in different type of soil and
    observing their rate of growth.
    HYPOTHESIS
    • It is hypothesized that the
    plants grow in a fertile soil
    with enough heat of the
    sun and average amount
    of water. The greater the
    amount of water, the
    faster the growth.
    BACKGROUND
    The sun provides warmth and energy for plants to survive.
    Not enough sun will slow down a plant’s growth and even kill. Too
    much sun can be a problem too, if the plant and soil are drying out
    too quickly. (Wickham, 2018)
    Water is an extremely important factor essential for the
    survival of plants and has the same function in plants as blood in
    animals. Plants also use water to maintain their temperature. Water
    keeps plants turgid and helps them maintain their structure and
    rigidity. Lack of sufficient water causes droopiness or wilting in
    plants. However, excess water can also cause wilting. (Brown, 2015)
    Plants cannot grow in infertile soil because there are no
    nutrients for the plant to feed on so there is nothing to promote
    growth and maintenance of the plants. Each soil type differs in its
    nutrient content and water-retention capacity. (Becker, 2014)
    SCIENTIFIC TERMS
    •Turgid
    •Rigidity
    •Water-retention
    •Wilting/Droopiness
    Materials
    • 6 Plastic Cups
    • 1 Packet of Monggo Seeds
    • Soil (Loam, Clay, and Sand)
    • Tap Water
    • Measuring cup
    • Ruler
    • Marker
    PROCEDURE
    1. The independent variable in this
    experiment is the type of soil used and the
    amount of water used everyday – 20 ml
    once and twice a day. The dependent
    variable is the growth of the plant in each
    type of soil. The constant (control variables)
    are the environment that the plants are
    kept in (temperature, light and humidity),
    the species of plant used and the size of the
    pot.
    PROCEDURE Cont.
    2. Fill the six pots with same amount of
    soil. Fill two pots with a loam type of soil.
    Another two with clay type of soil and
    another two, a sandy type of soil.
    Then place the twenty mung seeds in each
    pot of different soils. (Incase other seeds
    do not germinate. Remove any unwanted
    plants once germination has occurred).
    PROCEDURE Cont.
    3. Use the marker to label the six pots as “once” or
    “twice”.

    4. Water the pots labelled “once” once day, and the


    pots labelled “twice” two times day, using the 20 ml
    water.

    5. Check whether there is a sprout that appeared in the


    three kinds of soil on the 7th day.
    OBSERVATION
    • Plants that are planted in the loam soil
    have grown while the seeds planted in
    the clay soil and sandy soil, have not
    grown even a bit. Another observation
    is that even if you water the seeds once
    or twice with sandy and clay type of
    soil nothing will sprout or the seeds will
    not grow while in the loam soil the one
    watered twice grown to be the tallest
    compared to the one watered once a
    day.

    Clay B 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    (watered-
    twice)
    CONCLUSION
    • The experimental data and analysed
    results support our hypothesis that
    Plants will grow in a fertile soil because
    there are nutrients for the plant to feed
    on so there is the promotion of growth
    and maintenance of the plants. Also,
    the greater the amount of water, the
    faster the growth rate, but only up to a
    certain point. If too much water is given
    to the plants, their growth rate fell.
