On this page you will find science project ideas that can be done with plants. Test music's effect on plant growth. Test different soils. Compare different types of plants. They're all here. We hope you find a plant project you like.
Project #1 Music's effect on growing plants.
Many experiments have been done to see what music's effect on growing plants is. Does music help or hinder a plants growth? You will need three or more or the same type of plant for this project. Leave one plant in a room with classical music playing constantly. Leave another plant in a room with Hard rock, jazz, country, or some other type of music. Leave a third plant alone with no exposure to music. Note the comparative health of the plants after 1 week (or a predetermined amount of time) and make conclusions based on the results of your experiment.

Project #2 Soils
For this project you will need at least two of the same type of plant, or two seeds, and two types of soil. Place one plant in sand, and another plant in potting soil or another type of soil. (You may want to try several different kinds) Place them where they will receive the same amount of sunlight, and give them the same amount of water. After 1 week (or a predetermined amount of time) make observations as to how much each plant has grown, its color, and overall health of the plant. Which is better for growing plants? Why do you think this is the case.

Project #3 Comparing the growth of different plants
For this project you will need two or more different types of seeds. Place them in the same type of pot, with the same kind and amount of soil. Place them where they will receive the same amount of sunlight and give them the same amount of water. Before you begin make your hypothesis as to which plant you think will grow best. Let the seeds grow for 2 weeks. Make your observations and conclusions based on your experiment. Which plant grew the fastest?

Project #4 Plant growth in darkness
For this project you will need 3 of the same type of plant. Place one in complete darkness, one in a room with constant artificial light, and one in a room where it gets sunlight during the day but no light at night. Run this experiment for 1 week (or predetermined amount of time) and make observations on the health of the plants. Which is healthiest? Why?
