Knowledge About Our Plants

• The scientific name of our plant is Abelmoschus
  esculentus or Hibiscus esculentus
• The place of origin of our plant is Egypt
• We bought our okra seeds from Jims Nursery.
• It took about 6 days for our plants to germinate.
• The soil depth of our plants is two inches.
• We did not need to space our seeds out because of
  the pots we planted them in.
• It takes about 90 to 140 days to harvest the
  Longhorn okra that our group is growing.

3
Objective

• Our objective was to give the plants each a
  different amount of water.
• To determine which amount of water made okra grow
  the fastest.

4
The Methods Used For Our Plants

• First, we put about two inches of soil in a
  planting pot.
• Then, we put four seeds in each of the three
  finger holes and covered them up with dirt.
• We watered them every other day according to the
  amount of water that we decided to give them. We
  also took them in and out of the classroom for
  the sunlight.

Results

• Slope Plant A (10ml) (3-0.5)/ (6- 2)
• 0.625
• Equation
• y .625x 0.75
• Slope Plant B (15 ml) (7.5 2)/ (9-3)
• 0.916
• Equation
• y 0.916x 0.744
• Slope Plant C (20ml) (8 -2)/ (8-2)
• 1
• Equation
• y x

Conclusions

• Our plants grew as we expected, the plants that
  had the most water grew the fastest. The plants
  that had the least amount of water grew the
  slowest.
• We discovered that different amounts water can
  affect how fast okra plants grow.
• Plant C (20 ml) had the biggest slope 1 and grew
  the fastest. Plant A (10 ml) had the smallest
  slope 0.625 and it grew the slowest.
• No other groups grew okra, but our plants growth
  rate was larger than any other plants grown.

8
Conclusions

• Next time we would make the different amounts of
  water perhaps to include 30, 40, or 50 ml of
  water. Will these amounts also show the same
  trend observed in the 10ml, 15ml, 20ml?
• We enjoyed doing this project it was the most fun
  we had this year.
• Eric will take the plants and transplant it in
  his yard.
