Science Fair Project
I've know all of you are familiar with it since all of you have done it. I've picked up a topic for a project and it is "Does a magnetic field affect plant growth?" I need a hypothesis that is NOT too babyish and NOT too complicated, something like in the junior high school levels. And I don't want to bother posting this in the general nonsense section since that doesn't display any new posts on the forums hompage.
BTW this project is due in 3 weeks so I would have to be quick!

Uh... what's wrong with "Hypothesis: Magnetics fields affect plant growth." I mean, your topic pretty much is your hypothesis in this case.

Like this one: I predict that magnetic fields do affect plant growth becuase...... [the reason why you think that] or I predict that magnetic fields do not affect plant growth because...... [the reason why you think that]

isnt gravity a magnetic field of sorts??? and all plants seem to fight gravity, so I would have to say there is an effect.

Gravity is not a magnetic field at all, it is much weaker. It is a separate force called electro-magnetism, each are one of the big 4 forces. I haven't seen any research on this before, but something like "Magnetic fields will inhibit plant growth due to photosynthisis interuption." I don't know if thats true, or if thats too complicated, but reword it however you like. If its for jr. high a simple "I hypothesize plant growth will be inhibited by magnetic fields" oughta do ya. Don't plagerize though, google makes it too easy to catch..... Even copying something like I just said word for word can be found on google most likely, so word it your own way.

Actually in a hypothesis, your not supposed to state why or why not...
