A student set up a controlled experiment to test the effect of fertilizers on plant growth.
00:07
They use two tomato plants.
00:09
One is given water every day, right? one cup of fertilizers every week, one cup fertilizers, right? and daily sun and constant temperature.
00:40
Sun and constant temperature.
00:45
The second plant is given half cup of water, right? no fertilizer and there is no sun or temperature.
01:22
Using your knowledge of scientific method, why is this not a good experimental design? so the options are given.
01:30
The second plant should also be given some fertilizers.
01:35
So if second plant is considered as a control, right? and if second plant is used to measure the impact of fertilizer, then this second plant does not need the fertilizers, right? so depending upon the design of the study.
01:56
However, the other parameters should be same.
01:58
Like, for example, the sun and temperature should be same.
02:00
The water content should be same in order to measure the fertilizer...
