How does music affect plant growth?

Post by deleted-133054 »

I am almost done with the research for this project, but I need to find out one thing: What are the independent and dependent variables in this experiment? If it helps you understand what I am doing, here is the URL that will take you to the website that gives you the basics: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/does-mus ... rowth.html Thank you for your help! :D

Clearly the music (or the different genres of music) is the independent variable and the plant growth is the dependent variable.
Hope that helps

Hi marzo14,

I understand that you are almost finished with your experiment, but I wanted to let you know that Science Buddies also has great advice for different ways to measure plant growth: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... owth.shtml

Let us know if you need any help with interpreting your data! (Just post again in this same thread.)
