This document describes an experiment to test if sterilized fertilizer left in the sun would make plant germination faster than regular fertilizer. The hypothesis was that the regular fertilizer would speed up germination. 60 columbine seeds were planted with either sterilized or regular fertilizer and watered daily. However, after 10 days there were no results as the seeds did not germinate, so the experiment did not provide any conclusions about the effect of sterilized versus regular fertilizer on germination speed.

Question
Will sterilized fertilizer left out in the sun make the germination process go faster than regular fertilizer?
Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that the regular fertilizer will speed up the germination
process because the sun might evaporate or drain out some of the important chemicals the fertilizer might need to make the seed grow then the seed might or might not grow.
Rational
The reason I am doing this project is because if the sterilized fertilizer
does make the plant grow faster farmers might be able to grow plants and crops faster to produce more food.
Materials 1.
60 pots
2.
Columbine seeds (60)
3.
Miracle Grow fertilizer
4.
Black garbage bags
5.
Potting soil
6.
A book
7.
Water
Procedures
1.Gather Materials 2.Take 1 cup Miracle Grow fertilizer and pour into a black plastic bag 3.Leave fertilizer out in the sun for 24 hours 4.While waiting for the fertilizer put soil in 60 pots 5.Put one seed in each pot 6.After 24 hours take teaspoon of the fertilizer then put it in each pot 7.Water the seeds every day 8.Record the height of each plant every day

Data analysis
After looking at my research I found out that my experiment did not
work because there were no results after ten days.
Conclusion
My conclusion is that my project did not work because my seeds did not germinate within ten days. So either the chemicals in the fertilizer were bad or the seeds were dead when I bought them.
