Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

My teacher needs me to find other people who have done an experiment similar to mine. My experiment is what time of the day is best to water plants: in the morning, afternoon or evening. Please, if you have any links could you post them.

Thank you!!

Hi A Mabon,

None of us has posted a reply yet, and I think this probably means that we are not aware of a similar project. I don't recall ever seeing a project on this topic, but that doesn't mean no one has done it before. It probably means that it's a fairly original project idea, and that is good.

You might be able to find about previous research on this topic at library at a local University.

Do you need any ideas for your experimental design? We would be happy to help you with any details.

Hi A Mabon,

I looked around but could not find any other example of this experiment. There are some papers that describe the optimal time of day to water your lawn (particularly in certain climates). Will your plants be outside or in? Are they grass or some other plants?

Good luck,
