Plant Observations in Organic and Inorganic Material

Throughout our science unit, we have been focusing on an organic and inorganic material. As an experiment, we decided to compare the growth of a bean seed in organic material vs inorganic material. We developed hypotheses and predicted what type of material our bean seeds would grow best in. Over the past three weeks, we have observed our bean seeds once or twice a week to see how they are changing and growing. Below are my observations I noticed today.

Here is a picture of my bean seed growing inorganic material: 

Here is a picture of my bean seed growing in organic material: 

My observations about my bean plant that is growing in organic material are it is growing super well and healthy.

My observations about my bean plant that is growing in an inorganic material are it is sprouting but very unhealthy.

Conclusion: I think the plants grew better in organic material because of these reasons: It is growing really fast, healthy, and big.

One thought on “Plant Observations in Organic and Inorganic Material

  1. Great observations! I love how you mentioned that the plant in the organic material looked really healthy. In the future, make sure you explain how you know it is healthy, or how you know the plant is unhealthy. By explaining your thinking it allows others to also understand the difference between inorganic and organic material.
