The Influence of Music on Plant Growth

Objective

Examine whether music affects plant growth.

Materials

• Potted plants (same species and size)
• Music player and speakers
• Different genres of music
• Measuring tape or ruler
• Notebook for observations

Instructions

1. Prepare three groups of plants and label them (e.g., Group A, Group B, Group C).
2. Expose Group A to classical music, Group B to rock music, and keep Group C in silence as a control.
3. Play music for a set duration each day (e.g., 1 hour).
4. Water and care for all plants equally.
5. Measure the height of each plant weekly using a measuring tape or ruler.
6. Record the growth and overall health of each plant in the notebook.
7. Compare the growth of plants in each group over a set period (e.g., 4 weeks).
8. Draw conclusions about the influence of different types of music on plant growth.
