Fertilizers, What Works Best? Experiment: Which are more effective, organic or inorganic fertilizers? Category: Chemistry Ages: Middle School One idea for a science project is to see which fertilizer is more effective, organic or inorganic. For this project you will need six peat cups, some seeds, potting soil and your inorganic fertilizer – Miracle Gro, and organic fertilizer – a mixture of Alaskan liquid fish emulsion. Then you simply put potting soil into the six peat cups and plant one seed in each cup. Fertilize three of the pots with organic fertilizer and the other three with inorganic fertilizer and water each of them. Be sure to label the cups so you know which fertilizer you used in each one. Place them on a sunny window sill and water them every other day. Put more fertilizer in once a week and record their growth after one, two and three weeks. Make a chart so you can show your results. Be sure to do a hypothesis before you begin your project. Do you think the cups with the organic fertilizer will grow better and faster than the cups with the inorganic fertilizer? Or do you think it will be the other way around? You can ask other people what they think will happen as well.
