Abstract
The project starts with studying high emitting EMF sources, in this project a microwave and light switch were used. This involved using a gauss meter to measure the EMF levels for each device. Using the new found data about high emitting EMF devices gives inspiration for the future development of the experiment. This is important because it has motivated the next part of the experiment. Testing the effects of EMF on the germination of wheat seeds is planned to be tested. This will be done to see if there is a correlation between high amounts of EMF and the rate of germination of wheat seeds and their overall vitality. This will benefit individuals who work alongside plants, or potentially hobby gardeners. If there is a correlation between high EMF emitting devices harmed plant vitality it can help change the techniques that people grow plants. This project is different because it is studying a potential growing issue that affects plants. With the advancement of man made technology many everyday devices produce high frequencies of EMF radiation that are known to affect humans and other organisms. The project will be examined and revised using instruments fit to monitor EMF and plant life. Results that favor there is a correlation between EMF and stunted plant development will be tested on other species of plants. Following tests will also include testing EMF on invertebrates such as crickets and beetles. A testing arena will be created where select invertebrates will be exposed to high levels of EMF radiation. If the subjects show signs of injury, or death it is evidence that supports the harmful effects of EMF. This will allow for more data to be compared if EMF has the same harmful effects in invertebrates that are found in plants. The results will be concurrent if the plants and invertebrates show signs of damage, death, or stunted growth. This will assist in the experiment's future, by giving learned data on how to further improve testing.
