6.Subject: SCIENCE

" Cultivating young minds is like nurturing a garden; with the right fertilizer, they flourish
and grow, reaching heights beyond imagination."

🌿 Science Exploration: Unveiling the Impact of Different Fertilizers on Plant Growth 🌿

SUB THEME: Sustainable Agriculture: Nurturing Earth's Bounty Responsibly

Fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, providing essential nutrients to plants to
support their growth and productivity. However, not all fertilizers are created equal, and their
composition can have varying effects on plant growth, soil health, and environmental
sustainability. Understanding the impact of different fertilizers on plant growth is essential for
optimizing agricultural practices and promoting sustainable food production systems.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Student will be able to

 To investigate how different types of fertilizers affect the growth and development of plants
and explore the role of nutrients in plant nutrition and soil fertility.
 To assess their compatibility with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by evaluating their potential to
enhance agricultural productivity sustainably, minimize environmental degradation, and
promote food security and sustainable agriculture practices.

GENERAL GUIDELINE TO EMBARK ON YOUR BIO QUEST:

Step 1- Family Dialogue: Engage with family members, including parents and grandparents, to
gather insights into their gardening or farming experiences. Document traditional methods like
9
manures, biofertilizers, urea that they have employed in the past, note any observations
regarding changes in plant growth over time, and record their perspectives on modern
agricultural practices in your research journal.

Step 2 - Family Dialogue: Delve into discussions about the effects of various fertilizers on
plant growth, considering both traditional and modern approaches.

Step 3- Research Quest: Conduct thorough research on the preparation methods of different
types of fertilizers, exploring their compositions and application techniques.

Step 4 – Hands on Activity: Collaborate with family members in a garden or greenhouse

setting. Together, prepare the soil, sow seeds, apply different fertilizers as per your research
findings, and systematically monitor the plant growth over a designated period. Capture
photographs throughout the process.

Step 5 - Presentation: Compile your comprehensive research findings into a creative

presentation format for sharing with your school community. Consider options such as an
Accordion Book, Brochure, Mobile App, e-Brochure, Flip Book, Wall Hanging, or any other
innovative medium that allows for the inclusion of visuals and text. Incorporate the photographs
taken during the gardening experiment to enrich your presentation.

GENERAL LAYOUT OF THE PRESENTATION: -

• Cover page showing project title, student information, school, and Academic year.
