Urgent Science Fair Help Needed!?

Question

I am working with a child at the last minute on a science fair project. It is due tomorrow and lacking a lot of required information. I am unsure where the idea came from or what the steps were that were supposed to be taken. I have the outcome and so forth from his mother but not the steps etc. The project is on the effect of different types of music on plants. Has anyone ever done this project? Could you tell me anything you know about this project? Your help will be appreciated. Serious answers only please! Thanks in advance and I will award best answer!

Answer 1

Obviously you don't have time to DO a project. The best thing is to DESIGN some viable experiments.
Let's consider some possibilities:
1.Subject some young bean seedlings to fast-beat music.
2.Subject some like young bean seedlings to slow waltz music.
3. Subject some young bean seedlings to throbbing loud music.
4. Subject some young bean seedlings to classical music.

The controls include same conditions; same decibel levels, lighting, watering techniques, temperatures--all factors as close as possible. You might consider using other folks homes to spread the experiment across town!

Answer 2

don't have ready access to any actual research on this subject but I will try to give you my general understanding of it.
Apparently, plants do respond to movement. For example, I have heard that plants which are subjected to a gentle breeze or which are placed on a gently moving surface grow faster and stronger than plants which are kept virtually still.

Sound is also a kind of movement. Sound is created by vibrations in the air. Some types of sound can also set up vibrational movement in the surrounding environment, which might include plants and the tables which they are sitting on. My understanding is that some types of sound do make the plants grow better (faster and stronger). Plants, as I recall what I have read, like stringed instruments and soft music. Quiet classical music is good for plants. They don't respond well to raucous music. Loud classic al music or heavy metal rock, for example, will impede the normal growth and development of plants.
