A student investigated if plants grow faster when music is played for
them. 5 groups of plants were set up in a green house with the same
number and type of plants per group. The same amount of water and
sunlight was given to each plant, and the plants were in the same
temperature. The only difference was that each group "listened" to music
for a different amount of time each day. Every other day for three weeks
the height of the plants was measured in centimeters using a string and a
ruler.
