CAN THE
PLANTS INCLINE TO THE MAGNETS AND IT CAN AFFECT THE GROWTH OF THE PLANT?
Introduction….
Most
of the plants need soil, water and sun light to grow normal and healthy, but
can we affect that growing for doing better? In this project we are going to
see if magnetism can affect plants growth for good, to see if with these
magnets we can do the growth process of the plant better by doing it faster and
healthier. COME HERE AND LEARN!!!!
Theoretical Background
1.Magnetism:
“Magnetism
is the force generated by any moving charged particle or charged particles. A
magnetic field is the result of the motion of a charged particle or charged
particles, and this field is generated in no other way. Any time a charged
particle moves, it creates a magnetic field around its path of travel. There
are no exceptions that we know of. Magnetism is a term that speaks to the
phenomenon associated with a magnetic field and with its action on other
things”
“The
creation of a magnetic field by a moving charge or moving charges is this
fundamental concept that is behind the term electromagnetic force, which is one
of the four fundamental forces in the universe. Electricity and magnetism are
tied together inextricably because of this it produce energy”
The
magnetism is the force in which an object is attracted to one other. Every
magnet has two poles. These poles are called north and south or north-seeking
and south seeking poles. When the south poles of two magnets are placed near
one another, they also are repelled from one another. When the north and south
poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they are attracted to one
another.The magnetism is caused because the magnetic field.
2. Magnetic force:
The
magnetic field of an object can create a magnetic force on other objects with
magnetic fields. That force is what we call magnetism.
When
a magnetic field is applied to a moving electric charge, such as a moving
proton or the electrical current in a wire, the force on the charge is called a
Lorentz force.
3. Does magnetism affect
plants growth?:
“A
study was conducted to test the hypothesis that a magnetic field can affect
plant growth and health. The study divided plants into three groups. The first
group of plant seeds grew in a low magnetic field. The second group grew in a
high magnetic field. The third group grew in the absence of a magnetic field,
serving as a control group. Several growth parameters were measured, including
the germination rate, plant height, and leaf size”
“In
addition, the health status was measured by leaf color, spots, the stem
curvature, and the death rate. Plant growth was observed continuously for four
weeks. The results showed that magnetism had a significant positive effect on
plant growth. Plant seeds under the influence of the magnetic field had a
higher germination rate, and these plants grew taller, larger, and healthier
than those in the control group. No adverse effects of magnetism on plant
growth were noticed. However, the removal of the magnetic field weakened the
plant stem, suggesting the role of magnetism in supplying plants with energy”
4. How do plants grow and change?
4.1.
Plants need some primary needs to grow and change: They are water and sunlight.
4.2.
The plants start off as a seed and then slowly develop into a seedling. During
this moment the embryo help the seed to supply food.
4.3.
Later the seed make the root grow. They need also carbon dioxide and oxygen to
grow. After a long time, with good conditions for the plant, the stem and the
leaves will appear.

Objectives
a)
To
see if plants can grow with magnetism and how affect?
b)
Know
more about the plants and their growth.
c)
Have
a good time with a funny project.
d) Increase our
knowledge.
e)
See
if our plant changes using magnetism.
f)
See
if our plant inclines to the magnet.

3. Procedure
1.
Get
all the materials.
2.
Place
soil in the three pots.
3.
Plant
the three seeds in the three pots.
4.
Place
them in a wall because in a wall they will be protected of the cold.
5.
Put
the magnets in front of two pots.
6.
They
will have the same condition.
7.
Put
them in the sun light and give them water.
8.
Wait
about 5 days and see if they have growth.
9.
Record data and take pictures of the project.
4. Observations and Results
1.
The
first three days the seeds were exactly the same.( see on the appendix the
graph of the plants growth)
2.
The
fourth day the seed starts to get crease
3.
In
a week the seeds that have the magnets start to grow faster.
4.
The
bean seeds start to take out the roots but the mandarin deeds doesn't grow so
much.
5.
The
climate on “EL RETIRO” affect the plant growth, so maybe that is another cause
of the plant has not grown much ( The
three plants )
5. Conclusions
1. We could say that the magnets
help the plant to grow up faster and healthier.
2. We could say that the magnets
affects the plants growth for good.
3. We reach all our objectives.
4. We have fun with this project.
5. The plants can incline to the
magnets because of the energy that produce it.
