Biolog Experiment Lab Proposal

Please write a two-paragraph Biology experiment proposal including the following information.  Descriptions of your materials and methods. Describe your different variables (independent and dependent), your controls (positive and negative), controlling for outside variables (having plants in the same location, getting equal water, etc.), your proposed methods/protocols, replication (if possible) and materials you will need from me (reagents, known acids and bases, etc.). I should be able to conduct an experiment from this proposal.  The information, and details of the experiment and what the proposal should entail are below.  Thanks

Information:

Plant Nutrients Experiment

Hypothesis:  Changing the nutrient levels of plants will affect the

overall size, color, and leaf size of plants.

Materials:        5 plants (pea plants?)

                        Soil

                        Miracle grow  (has even N, P, K levels)

                        Ammonium Sulfate (for nitrogen)

                        Super phosphate (for phosphorus)

                        Muriate of Potash (for potassium)

Procedure: Have 2 controls, one using miracle grow and another using

regular soil.  One plant treated with ammonium sulfate, one with super

phosphate and another with muriate of potash.  Give plants same dosage of

its nutrient and record results weekly.

Independent variables: variables are different nutrients.

Dependent Variables:  Measurement of growth, observation of color and size

of leaves/flowers

Controls:  same amount of sunlight and water.  Given same amount of

whichever nutrient plant is assigned.  All outside conditions for plants

will be the same.
