How can design of flower pot can affect the growth of plant?

It depends on the plant. Some plants require good drainage due to a large intake of water, so the pot should have a hole. Some plants e.g. catci don't require much water and so its pot may have a closed bottom. Cacti also do better in clay pots rather than ones made of plastic. Some plants should be hung and so the pot should have a hole if it is not on a stand. The size of a pot will also affect the growth of many plants.

What are good plant experiments?

Lay a cardboard box on its side. Take a box and cut a hole in a side. If it is rectangular, make the hole on a smaller side. Stack some small objects in the side next to the hole. Do not plug up the hole. Plant some beans in a flower pot. When they begin to sprout, place the pot on the side of the box opposite of the hole. Close the box and tape it up. Check the plant every two days and water it. Tape the box up after checking on the plant. Try this with a TickleMe Plant and not only will your plant move towards the sunlight (photo-tropism) but your plant will move when you tickle it (thigmotropism).
