CAN THE PLANTS INCLINE TO
THE MAGNETS AND IT CAN
AFFECT THE GROWTH OF THE
PLANT?

2. Introduction
 Most of the plants need soil, water and
sun light to grow normal and healthy, but
can we affect that growing for doing
better? In this project we are going to see
if magnetism can affect plants growth for
good, to see if with these magnets we
can do the growth process of the plant
better by doing it faster and healthier

3.  Magnetism:
 “Magnetism is the force generated by any moving
charged particle or charged particles. A
magnetic field is the result of the motion of a
charged particle or charged particles, and this
field is generated in no other way. Any time a
charged particle moves, it creates a magnetic
field around its path of travel. There are no
exceptions that we know of. Magnetism is a term
that speaks to the phenomenon associated with a
magnetic field and with its action on other things”
Theoretical Background

4.  “The creation of a magnetic field by a moving
charge or moving charges is this fundamental
concept that is behind the term electromagnetic
force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in
the universe. Electricity and magnetism are tied
together inextricably because of this it produce
energy”

5.  The magnetism is the force in which an object
is attracted to one other. Every magnet has
two poles. These poles are called north and
south or north-seeking and south seeking
poles. When the south poles of two magnets
are placed near one another, they also are
repelled from one another. When the north
and south poles of two magnets are placed
near one another, they are attracted to one
another.The magnetism is caused because
the magnetic field.

6. Magnetism

7.  The magnetic field of an object can
create a magnetic force on other objects
with magnetic fields. That force is what
we call magnetism.
 When a magnetic field is applied to a
moving electric charge, such as a moving
proton or the electrical current in a wire,
the force on the charge is called a
Lorentz force.
Magnetic force

8.  “A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that
a magnetic field can affect plant growth and
health. The study divided plants into three groups.
The first group of plant seeds grew in a low
magnetic field. The second group grew in a high
magnetic field. The third group grew in the absence
of a magnetic field, serving as a control group.
Several growth parameters were measured,
including the germination rate, plant height, and
leaf size”
Does magnetism affect plants
growth?

9.  “In addition, the health status was measured by
leaf color, spots, the stem curvature, and the
death rate. Plant growth was observed
continuously for four weeks. The results showed
that magnetism had a significant positive effect
on plant growth. Plant seeds under the influence
of the magnetic field had a higher germination
rate, and these plants grew taller, larger, and
healthier than those in the control group. No
adverse effects of magnetism on plant growth
were noticed. However, the removal of the
magnetic field weakened the plant stem,
suggesting the role of magnetism in supplying
plants with energy”

10. Magnets affecting the plant
growth.

11.  Plants need some primary needs to grow and
change: They are water and sunlight.
 The plants start off as a seed and then slowly
develops into a seedling.During this moment the
embryo help the seed to supply food.
 Later the seed make the root grow. They need also
carbon dioxide and oxygen to grow. After a long
time,with good conditions for the plant,the stem
and the leaves will appear.
How do plants grow and change?

12. Plants growth process

13. Objectives
 1. To see if plants can grow with magnetisim and
how affect?
 2. Know more about the plants and their growth.
 3. Have a good time with a funny project.
 4. Increase our knowledge.
 5. See our plant change using magnetism

Magnets (1)
Ruler of about 30 cm. (1)

15. Reactives
Sunlight
Water
Soil

16. Procedure
 1. Get all the materials.
 2. Place soil in the three pots.
 3. Plant the three seeds in the three pots.
 4. Place them in a wall because in a wall they will
be protected of the cold.
 5. Put the magnets in front of two pots.
 6. They will have the same condition.
 7. Put them in the sun light and give them water
 8. Wait about 5 days and see if they have growth.
 9. Record data and take pictures of the project.

17. Observations and results
 1. The first three days the seeds were
exactly the same.
 2. The fourth day the seed starts to get
crease.
 3. In a week the seeds that have the
magnets start to grow faster.
 4. The bean seeds start to take out the
roots but the mandarin deeds doesn't
grow so much

19. Conclusions
 We could say that the magnets help the
plant to grow up faster and healthier.
 We could say that the magnets affects
the plants growth for good.
 We reach all our objectives.
 We have fun with this project.
