Which liquid

effects plants the

most?
TURNER 4.7 PS

Question
My question is which drink out of milk, sprite, and
coffee will effect plants the most.

Abstract
My question was: Which liquids effect plants the most out of coffee, sprite, and
milk? I did this experiment because I thought that the outcome would be
interesting. My hypothesis was that coffee would have the best outcome because
many gardeners use coffee grounds as a substitute fertilizer. My procedures are:
1.

Gather materials

2.

Place three plants on a hard surface so they dont spill.

3.

Pour 1 measuring cup of each drink into the three different plants.

4.

Place the plants where they will get sunlight.

5.

Water each plant each day for one week.

6.

After a week, look at your results

7.

Draw conclusions.

My results were that coffee did have the most changes, but it wasnt exactly
good. All three plants had brown spots on the leave and the soil got very dry even
after I watered the plant. So, in conclusion, coffee did have the biggest changes
which means that my hypothesis was right.

Hypothesis

outcome because many gardeners use coffee beans
as a substitute fertilizer.

Results and Data

My results were that coffee effected the plant the
most because the plant had brown spots all over its
leaves and the soil was very dry even after I poured
the coffee in it.

Graph
My experiment did not have a graph that I could
make for it because the experiment data couldnt of
been put into a graph.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the drink that had the most effect on
my Pothos was coffee. My hypothesis was supported
because I believed that the coffee would have the
greatest effect on the plant.
