Kool-Aid Radish Growth or Failure? • Nora Vanden Bush, Cody Dey; Plants animals and You; 6th hour; Marion High school Discussion and Conclusion We thought that with us using Kool-Aid instead of water, our plant would grow bigger and better. In the end we were correct. Our plant with the Kool-Aid grew much taller than the one with plain old water. There may have been flaws as in any other experiment, so if you would want a more accurate reading you could do this same experiment on a larger scale. IntroductionRadishes, like any other plant needs specific things to grow. They follow in the carbon cycle. They will take in Carbon dioxide and water to convert into energy. This process is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, they also produce sugar.Sugars provide the energy plants need to grow as well as providing genetic triggers to begin growth and development at the cellular level. We think that if we add sugar to the water we give to the plant, it will increase the growth of the plant. Sources: Wikipedia.com Kohnzone.com Answers.com Steps Get all your materials together. You will need: -2 pots for planting -6 radish seeds -water -Kool-Aid -soil 2. We are using three radish seeds. Incase, one seed does not grow, so we plant three seeds in each pot. 3. Put a reasonable amount of soil in each of your pots, depending on the size of your pot. 4. Push three radish seeds in your soil about a half inch in for both pots. 5. Choose one pot for your control and one pot for your Kool-Aid. 6. Your control pot should receive enough water so the soil of your plant on top is damp. 7. Your Kool-Aid pot should receive the same amount of fluid but you should use Kool-Aid instead of water. 8. Watch everyday and record your data on a graph.
