By : Simón Galindo and Matías LoperaCAN 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

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”

Theoretical Background

“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.

Magnetism

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.

Magnetic force

“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”

 Does magnetism affect plants growth?

“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”

Magnets affecting the plant growth.

Plants need some primary needs to grow and change: They are water and sunlight.

The plants start off as a seed and then slowly develops into a seedling.During this moment the embryo help the seed to supply food.

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.

How do plants grow and change?

Plants growth process

Objectives

1. To see if plants can grow with magnetisim and how affect?

2. Know more about the plants and their growth.

3. Have a good time with a funny project.

4. Increase our knowledge.

5. See our plant change using magnetism

2. MaterialsPots (3)

Sunlight

Water

Soil

 

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.

Observations and results

1. The first three days the seeds were exactly the same.

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

Conclusions

We could say that the magnets help the plant to grow up faster and healthier.

We could say that the magnets affects the plants growth for good.

We reach all our objectives.

We have fun with this project.
