Throughout our science unit we have been focusing on 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 in organic material:

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

My observations about my bean plant that is growing in organic material are……

That it is very tall and healthy

My observations about my bean plant that is growing in inorganic material are…..

That is medium height and a brown-ish-green color which is not healthy

Conclusion: I think the plants grew better in organic material because of these reasons:

The soil has more nutrients than the perlite
