π±π Experiment Alert! π±π
π’ Calling all plant enthusiasts! πΏπΊ Our grade 5 class at Gracehill College is embarking on an exciting experiment to test the effect of pollution on plants. π±π«
π¬ Hypothesis: Pollution will stunt the growth of plants. πΏπ
Our young scientists have chosen different types of pollution and substances to add to their plants. Here are the variables they are exploring:
π¬οΈ Air Pollution: Doom
π± Soil Pollution: Plant food, Plastic, Salt
π§ Water Pollution: Chlorine/Jik, Caustic soda
Twice a week, the children are carefully watering their plants and adding their chosen pollution. πΏ They will observe and document any changes over the next three weeks. π
To ensure accuracy, each type of pollution also has a control plant that receives only water, with no additional substances added. This allows for a comparison between the effects of pollution and the normal growth of plants. πΏπ
After the three weeks, our young scientists will evaluate their findings and write a comprehensive report. π They will determine whether their observations support or refute the hypothesis. π±π
Stay tuned for the exciting results! πΏπ
