Ag Science Experiments?!

123 LC

i'm confused as to what experiments to learn to definitely be able to answer the experiment q? is there a list or anything?

xxunxnamedxx

I don't think there are any that will definitely come up. They are completely random. There's an experiment book with like 150 mandatory experiments in it, but in my school we just use this book you get when you subscribe to the farmers journal. It has 46 experiments in it and our teacher says to know them all, so i'm just going to briefly read over them!

you should check through the exam papers to see the experiments that came up already, cause they're probably the most common!! i'm gonna do that tomorrow.
and we have to know the soil experiments for sure anyways. :pac:

I await your response:p

holy crap.. O: such a bunch of experiments. :eek:

The ones that repeated a lot were:
The action of a named animal enzyme(Amylase breaks down starch or catalase acts on hydrogen peroxide)
Transpiration in plants
Importance of earthworms
Importance of certain elements in plants - for growth
Cation exchange in soil
Soil structure
Soil pore space
Bacteria in milk
Capillarity of 2 soil types
Soil texture


They're like the only ones that repeated but from going through the exam papers.. experiments under these chapters should be focused on, definitely! :eek: :
Plant Science
Soil Science
Grassland(silage experiments especially! & the one about sugar content)
Food(like to test for starch,sugar,fat,protein,vitamin C etc. And that one that demonstrates that food contains energy!! popular one that is! O: )

Should read over all our experiments beforehand in case.. i think i have about 50 written out. :L that should do it :pac:
