The Effects of a Magnet on Plant Growth

CSEF · 2009 Plant Biology

Mark A. Amash · Villa Park High School, Villa Park, Orange County

Overview

Objectives/Goals To see if a magnetic field will have any kind of effect on a plants production and growth. Methods/Materials Radish seeds, Carrot seeds, Basil seeds, magnets, soil, and pots Results The magnetic field slows down the productivity and growth of the plants. Conclusions/Discussion Based on my data, the height of the plants were not as tall as the plants that I planted without magnets. Also, there were not as many plants that sprouted and not as many leaves sprouted from the plants as well. From further observations, I also discovered that the plants that were effected by the magnets were trying to avoid the magnetic field.

Summary statement

How will a plants growth be effected by a magnetic field.
