You want to investigate the role that these variables play in plant growth. You decide to test the substrate and see if changing substrate mixes will affect plant growth. Match the following experimental components with their descriptions. Experimental Components: ( Experimental Variable, Dependent Variable, Control Condition, Independent Variabe, A Confounding Variable That Must Be Held Constant) 1. type of substrate used: 2. growth resulting from substrate type 3. amount of water needed in all plants 4. substrate that is changed during the experiment 5. substrate that is not changed during the experimentarrow_forwardAn experiment is conducted to determine the effect of classical music on the growth rate of marigolds (flowers). Two groups of plants are grown from seed in identical soil types, exposed to identical light conditions, and given the same nutrients. Group A is in a quiet atmosphere. The plants in group B provided with the same atmosphere, except that classical music is played for twelve hours daily in this area. The scientist measures the plants in both groups each day and records the data.

- They started to read books, surf the internet and study researches on the effect of music to plant growth, Members from the group continued to formulate their respective hypotheses. They went on performing a simple experiment. The group selected two San Francisco plants of similar size planted on the sanme type of soil and kind of pots. Both plants were healthy. Each plant were placed in separate rooms with a window exposed to full sunlight and were watered with equal amounts every day. They measured the height of the plants. Once a day, they played classical music on room 1 for about one hour while leaving room 2 with no music played. Over a period of two weeks, they noted significant differences in each plant's growth. Multiple Choice: Write the letter of your answer before the number. What was the problem in the Grade 7-Rizal's experiment? Which San Francisco plant is taller?
