How Does Your Olla Grow?
| Challenge: | Resources | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | vancouver, BC | | School: | , St George's School | | Abstract: | Ollas are hand made terra-cotta jugs buried underground to provide water for plant growth. This experiment designed, built and tested 5 geometric shapes of ollas comparing amounts and patterns of plant growth. Geometry influenced volume and patterns of growth with an inverted pyramid shape being the best. This is important since this design is not commonly used today, but could be adapted in the future. |
