To sustain plant life in our courtyard we must follow theses essentials . These essential components include sources of food, water, cover, and safe places to raise young. We dug a hole in the courtyard that was 12in" deep to get better results of the soil. we tested 3 different area sample of soil from the court yard , The middle, Next to the tree , and one that was hit with alot of sunlight. Middle pH level 1 -7.0 2nd try-7.0 Sunlight pH level 1- 6.5-7.0 2nd try-6.5-7.0 Next to tree pH level 1- 6.0 2nd try-5.5-6.0 The soil appears Malnourished Were going to test the conditions of the soil. To help plants grow , it has to have Phospherous , and Potassium. Grow Plants Grow By The Soil Mates What we know The End . How do we create the optimum environment to sustain plant life in the Irvin Courtyard? What is pH? A number between 0-14 that indicates if a chemical is an acid or a base. How is it used ? pH is often used to compare solution acidities, we also use pH strips. pH Scale & Ideal pH for plants 5.5 - 7.0 the optimum pH range for most plants. Soil with pH below 7.0 indicates that the soil is acidic , and pH above 7.0 indicating Alkaline conditons, 7.0 is neutral which means its good for growing conditions. Results Driving Question How are we going to treat the soil . What kind of plants can we plant in our courtyard. How are we going to sustain plant life in the courtyard. Materials Procedures to test pH in soil So the middle section of the courtyard is more neutral for growing plants .
