Does classical music help the growth of plants
Introduction
Have you ever wondered if music really affects the growth rate of plats, or if it even has anything to do with growth rate? In this experiment, we will grow two separate plants, one with classical music, and another with no music at all. The soil used will be the same in order for the outcome to be unbiased. The bean seed will be grown over a period of 6 weeks. Bean seeds are an easy plant to grow, and only require sunlight, warmth, soil and water. That is why we chose to grow it. The characteristics of the bean plant made it an easy pick for us. Bean seeds have similar growth patterns to other plants, such as corn. In fact, they are so easy to find and grow, that even a simple bean found in the grocery store can be fully harvested just as a normal bean seed would.
Problem
Does classical music enhance the growth of plants?
Hypothesis
If plants are exposed to classical music then they will grow better than plants that are not exposed to music.
Background
Sound waves are invisible particles, which are produced when two objects vibrate. These are how radios and speakers work. The actual speakers from which the sound waves are produced are extremely small, but if you place your hand on the speaker you can actually feel the vibration. The difference between what we call high pitch and low pitch sounds are simply just different patterns of vibration. All in all, the vibration patterns will give completely different outputs of sound.
Bean seeds average a growth rate of which it eventually takes an approximate time of 6 weeks for it to fully sprout. Seeing that I have had one growing for about 1 week, daily sunlight and water is required. Soil will greatly boost the growth rate, but it is not necessary since my bean sprouted simply wrapped inside of two moist cottons! The same soil will be used throughout the whole experiment. I am sure we have all had one sort of experience with plant
