Plants watering cycle
Hello I already have my topic for my sciecne fair its basically about a plants watering cycle using multiple plants around the same age and but different kinds, the independent variable being changing the amount the water each plant gets. I just need some Data Collection or Prior Knowledge on this subject please and THANKS!

Re: Plants watering cycle
Hi,
Welcome to science buddies. So, if I understand you correctly, you will have both different types of plants and different amounts of water for each plant, right? I would be very careful with that. Since you are not keeping the type of plant constant throughout the tests, your results may become skewed. I would advise you to either test with only one type of plant or, if you are set on using multiple kinds, to make sure that you test each type of plant separately. For example, Test both plant type 1 and plant type 2 with a small amount of water and a large amount of water as opposed to watering plant type 1 with a small amount of water and plant type 2 with a large amount of water. Does that make sense?
