Science Fair Report
Plants usually get nutrition from the soil and water but I will try to make the plant grow and record the result what will happen if I use different kind of drinks to the plant. I will use rice water, coffee, milk, green tea instead of normal water. Based on my research, most of the drinks are helpful for the plant. Especially, the rice water is very helpful and good for the growing plant. However coffee is not really good for the plant.
Caffeine don’t usually have much nutrition that other drinks have, but coffee is mostly caffeine. That’s why it would be bad effect for the plant. According to the person wrote about the coffee, he/she said that the plant will easily die or will not grow as big as other plant. Some says that it could make a fire but there is no specific reasons why it will cause fire. For the good drink, orange juice might help the plant to grow well, because they used orange at least little amount of orange which is also good for people. Milk could also help. The reasons are the milk contains calcium and calcium help human also by making the bone strong so it could also give effect to the plant by making the stem strong. For rice water, many of the experimenters said that it will be very effective. In fact, rice water help human to have a smooth, brighter tone of skin by using rice water instead of water for washing face. So it might give same result just like making the leaves and soil smoother and cleaner.
Lastly, there are only some of the result of green tea for the plant. Some says that green tea will be good. On the other hand, some says that green tea might be bad. I also think in that way, because green tea has an effect that it will make the human body cold and get quite a lot amount of water from the body. So the green tea might make the plant cold and get all the water which is very important for the plant. However, the green tea also has the power to make the human body have a better circulation of the blood. By this effect, it might help to make the plant to have more water and help to have a better water circulation when it is drinking the water.
Through this experiment, I might be able to find a drink which is cheaper than water, easier to find than water for the plant. I am still not sure which drink will be the most helpful drink for the plant since I did not finish the experiment.
