Aim | Do plants grow faster in bright sunlight? Does floating ice makes the the water level rise when it melts? Does sunscreen stops heat from passing through? To see if young people remember better than older people. |
Method | Place the potted plants in the bright sunlight. Cover the ice block in sunscreen. Measure how long it takes the parachute to fall. Measure the height of all of the plants. |
Equipment | Ice blocks, sunscreen and a stop watch. Seeds, pots, potting mix, water and a ruler. Containers, lemon, salt, sugar and water. |
Results | Four out of six young people were able to taste the sour liquids whereas only three out of six adults could taste them. Plants in the strong sunlight grew an average of 30 cm while plants in dull light grew and average of 25 cm. The younger people remembered 10 items, whereas the older people remembered 12 items. |
Conclusion | The older people remembered better than the younger people. The plants in the bright sunlight grew faster than the plants in dull light. Slaters prefer to live in dark moist places. |
