Plants being affected by magnetic forces. - To check whether magnetic force will affect plant's growth. (Apr/16/2008 )

I am a Singapore sec 3 Biology student and i am joing a competition on life science.
I thought of an experiment using magnet and plant to see whether the magnetic force will affect the growth of the plant.
I have 4 more months before i must submit the project, can i seek help from anyone that can tell me wad can i consider in doing this project.
I consulted help in my school and they said that it would be good if there i a professor to help us in the project as it is related to Physic and Biology.
I hope i can seek help on this forum together with the help i get from my school to make this project a success.

i'd recommend you to read "the secret life of plants" by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird.

Thank You for your suggestion as i do even know there is such a book at first so after your comment i know i can also get reference from the book. Thank You very much.
Is it possible that someone tells me the way to conduct the experiment and how do i compare the result in the end?

look for related literature. as genehunter suggested, google it first. if you want more references look up at http://highwire.stanford.edu or http://www.scopus.com
good luck on your project.
