March - May 2010
Bella's 4th grade class assignment was to come up with a project for the science fair. Bella selected the topic: Will Plants grow better with Classical Music Playing 24 hours a day 7 days a week, or will they grown better in complete silence - all other conditions the same.
She put her question to the test.
 |
| After preparing the small labled pots, it was time to plant. |
 |
| She Planted Pumpkins, morning glory, and sunflower seed |
 |
| Silent Room |
 |
| Seperated into rooms. Classical Music Room |
 |
| Dilegently watered every other day and took notes as to growth and general health of the plants |
 |
| repotting project |
 |
| Music room plants doing very well. |

She had to re-pot the plants because they were outgrowing their little pots.
|
 |
getting taller |
 |
| Final Product with poster at the Science Fair at the school. |
Final Results!!! Yes, plants exposed to classical music 24 hours a day do seem to thrive a little better and grow taller and healthier! Maybe we all need a little more classical music in our lives?
Great work Bella!
