What type of Big K lemon lime soday will make a Petunia plant grow better? Will the sugar packed soda help the plant grow tall, or will it be the sugar free soda that makes it grow nice and healthy, or will water make it grow strong? The zero sugar soda plant did outlive the full sugar soda plant. The zero sugar soda plant also looked about the same as the water plant and both were heathy. It even seems that the zero sugar plant may have done better than the plant that only got water.
Great start. Looking forward to your future modifications in this line.
You did a great job comparing how water, full‑sugar soda, and zero‑sugar soda affect petunia growth. Your daily measurements and detailed journal show excellent commitment, and your conclusion is well supported by your observations. To make your project even stronger next time, try using more than one plant for each liquid and summarize your data in a graph so the differences are easier to see. Overall, this is a thoughtful and well‑designed experiment, nicely done!
