| Challenge: | Discovery | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Peel | | City: | Brampton, ON | | School: | Notre Dame S.S | | Abstract: | This project studied the effect of different frequencies of square wavelengths on the growth of different types of plants. The most beneficial wavelength was different for each plant and was found to be inversely proportional to the size of the plant’s leaves. Knowledge of the plant’s specific wavelength led to growing the plants up to four times larger than they grew naturally. |
