•
Pour water into three tubes
Pour liquid fertilizer into next three
tubes
Pour water with sugar into last three
tubes
Make nine balls of filter paper and put them
in a tube, but don’t let them slide down
Put a pea seedling on filter paper
ball
Put tubes in the stand in the classroom
for a week
After week
Observe any
changes that
occurred in all
test tubes with
peas seedlings
We measure pea seedlings root

Average pea seedling root length
Distilled water

Liquid fertilizer
(25+23+10):3=19.3mm
Water with sugar
(12+6+0):3=6mm
Average pea seedling root length
Conclusion
The best environment for pea seedling is
fertilized liquid
 The worst environment for pea seedling is
water with sugar
We proved that fertilized liquid is needed
for plant to grow!!
