Research Design: Vigna Radiata

Chapter 2 Methodology

Research Design

The researchers utilized and made use of an experimental form of research. Since the following study involves the use of plants (Vigna Radiata or Mongo plants, specifically) because they are a basic life form that serves as a fundamental access to replenishing oxygen in the atmosphere and can be grown almost anywhere at a certain given type of environment, harsh or not. The Mongo seed is the ideal type among all of these types of given plants because it is accessible, and meets the aforementioned standards and criteria when one attempts to grow a plant. Given that the researchers will incorporate the following factors (its height and its overall appearance) and take them into high regard and

Experiments are done through using different instrument to have the exact results that the researches would like to have. In order to get the right results the materials that was used came from reliable persons and information that came from different people like a gardener the researchers asked which is the best soil to be used and helped the researchers to identify the polluted and non-polluted area. The pots were used to put in the soil. The soil was watered every day. The ruler was used after the plant had fully grown in order to measure the height and a camera for the photos taken The materials were used according when they will be used. So each material had done each functions. Figure 1 below shows on how the experiment was performed. Step 1

Preparing the materials to used Step 2

Putting soil in each pot Step 3

Putting an equal amount of mongo seeds in each pot

Step 4

Placing each pot in a polluted and into a non-polluted place

Step 6

Taking pictures every week of the development of the plant Step 5

Watering the plants everyday

Step 8

Writing the result in a paper Step

Flowchart of Steps Followed in Getting the result of the experiment The first step was done to let the researchers be prepared for the experiment. The second step was than so that the Mongo seeds can be planted and the third step was done to let the researchers know which place can be good for the growth of plants because if not all the seed grew properly it means that the area really affects the growth of plants. The fourth step was done to let the Mongo seeds grow in a polluted and in a non-polluted place. The fifth step was done to let the Mongo seeds grow. The sixth and seventh steps was done to have an exact result of the place and which place affects the growth of plants. Finally the seventh step was done so that the researchers would not forget the results of their experiment. The experiment was done to know which place is good for the growth of plants. The place where there are trashes and dirt is the polluted one and the place that is clean is the non-polluted one. The plant that is in the polluted and the plant that is in the polluted place were watered every day and it received an equal amount of water. All of these were done to let the researchers be able to have exact results on the experiment conducted.
