About

In our Story of the Seed project we will be exposing broccoli plants to different music. One plant will be exposed to Taylor Swift's old country songs and the other will be "listening" to Post Malone's music. We also made sure to include a control plant that while being in the same environment will not be exposed to any music. They will be kept in separate cups between two layers of plastic wrap with headphones taped to the plastic. This will send vibrations to the seeds and hopefully have a positive impact on their growth. We expect that the Post Malone music will make the plant germinate the fastest and grow the most because the music is more upbeat and faster therefore giving off more vibrations.

Since the beginning of the school year, my teammates and I have closely observed our own Brassica Oleracea, or broccoli. We’ve even observed other groups’ individual Brassica Oleracea plants including kale, cauliflower, cabbage, and of course, broccoli. Many people think of these vegetables as different vegetables entirely due to their relatively small differentiations in size and color. However, they actually share more than 99% of their DNA with each other. The most variation (greatest number of different forms) between the plants lies in the leaves. They are all different shapes and sizes. Some were large and flimsy, while others were small and stiff. Some were round, some were ridged; the leaves definitely varied in shape. Not only did the shape of the leaves vary, but so did the size. The size demonstrated the greatest range of variation as the average length of the leaves ranged from 12cm to nearly 20cm. My group members and I measured different leaves and above are the result...

TSOTS: Lab Report

Hypothesis: If music affects the germination of seeds, then the seeds exposed to Post Malone’s music will germinate faster. Control: The type of seeds,  number of seeds, and environment Variable: Type of music/no music Justification of hypothesis: Post Malone’s music is faster and will vibrate the seeds more and they’ll grow faster. We wanted to test this because music sometimes helps us work so it might help plants grow. Why did you choose this as your hypothesis? We chose this as our hypothesis because we thought the vibrations of Post Malone’s more intense music would shake the plants out of the seeds. Procedure: Materials: 45 broccoli seeds 3 solo cups Saran wrap Two sets of earphones Two phones for playing music Misted Water Paper towels Steps: Assemble “Seed Growing Area” Use rubber bands to make two layers of saran wrap (the first layer with a small dip in the middle for the seeds and the second needs to be tig...
