Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Looking for catchy title for kiddo's science project (gr.4), examining which set of plants shows the most growth in 4 conditions. Some new research under "plant neuro biology" spawned his idea, and it's fascinating to learn how plants may be more "intelligent" (responsive) than we ever thought! 3 plants in each condition (lima beans, fast-growing), will be done for 10 days. One set will get positive speech/encouragement/good-kind words 15 mins a day; second set bad/negative/"hateful" words 15 mins a day; third set neutral speech (counting to 100 repeatedly) 15 mins; and last/4th set, control, no speech. All other conditions are the same. Looking for a fun, catchy title. Do the plants receiving speech grow better? If so, is there a difference between the "hate" set and "love" set? THANKS for any help or ideas you might have!! It's a great project and he is very excited.

Hello Kaja and welcome to Science Buddies!

This sounds like a fun experiment. For a title, maybe some variation on "Love makes the world go around" but using "grow", maybe "Can Love make my plants grow" ...

I hope yoour son takes photos of the plants as they grow (or don't grow). The photos will be a great part of the display. Best of luck!
