Can the plants incline to the magnets and it can affect the growth of the plant?

Introduction….

In this Apa Template we are going to see if magnetism affect the plants growth,see more about what is the magnetism and how plants grow and change.

Theoretical Background:

Magnetisnm:

Magnetism is the force generated by any moving charged particle or charged particles. A magnetic field is the result of the motion of a charged particle or charged particles, and this field is generated in no other way. Any time a charged particle moves, it creates a magnetic field around its path of travel. There are no exceptions that we know of. Magnetism is a term that speaks to the phenomenon associated with a magnetic field and with its action on other things.

The creation of a magnetic field by a moving charge or moving charges is this fundamental concept that is behind the term electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. Electricity and magnetism are tied together inextricably because of this

Does magnetism affect plants growth?

A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that a magnetic field can affect plant growth and health. The study divided plants into three groups. The first group of plant seeds grew in a low magnetic field. The second group grew in a high magnetic field. The third group grew in the absence of a magnetic field, serving as a control group. Several growth parameters were measured, including the germination rate, plant height, and leaf size. In addition, the health status was measured by leaf color, spots, the stem curvature, and the death rate. Plant growth was observed continuously for four weeks. The results showed that magnetism had a significant positive effect on plant growth. Plant seeds under the influence of the magnetic field had a higher germination rate, and these plants grew taller, larger, and healthier than those in the control group. No adverse effects of magnetism on plant growth were noticed. However, the removal of the magnetic field weakened the plant stem, suggesting the role of magnetism in supplying plants with energy.

How do plants grow and change?

Plants need some primary needs to grow and change: They are water and sunlight.

The plants start off as a seed and then slowly  develops into a seedling.During this moment the embryo help the seed to supply food.

Later the seed make the root grow. They need also carbon dioxide and oxygen to grow. After a long time,with good conditions for the plant,the stem and the leaves will appear.

1.      Objectives

1.      To see if plants can grow with magnetisim and how affect?

2.      Know more about the plants and their growth.

3.      Have a good time with a funny project.

4.      Increase our knowledge.

5.      See our plant change using magnetism

2.      Materials and Reactives

Materials	Reactives
Pots (3)	Sunlight
Corn seeds(1)	Water
Bean seeds(1)	Soil
Mandarin seed(1)
Magnets (1)
Ruler of about 30 cm. (1)

3.      Procedure

1. Get all the materials.

2. Place soil in the three pots.

3. Plant the three seeds in the three pots.

4. Place them in a wall because in a wall they will be protected of the cold.

5. Put the magnets in front of two pots.

6. They will have the same condition.

7. Put them in the sun light and give them water

8. Wait about 5 days and see if they have growth.

9. Record data and take pictures of the project.
