Plant Observation #2

My groups controlled plant is growing so much through the past weeks. My last post was about the things I saw 2 weeks ago, if you had not seen that, then read that 1st so the things I will be talking about will make more sense. Now back to my control plant, the plant grow so much more, the last time I checked the plant was 3 inches tall! last time it was only about 2 inches tall. And all the plants looked healthy but 1 of the plants had light green leaves and all the rest had about a good amount of shide with the green color, and when I looked at other groups controlled plants it was again a good amount of shide with the green color but 1 groups plant it was just like my groups plant. But why I think it’s because we might have gave it to much water but wouldn’t  that make it a darker color? Well actually I think it can make it lighter or darker depends on the plant. I still don’t know what it is but when I know I will write about it! My groups manipulated plant is still doing bad, it grew a little bit more but still the bottom line is that it needs real water not water sugar water. Right now the manipulated plant is about ½ of an inch tall,but are controlled plant 3 inches tall,the manipulated plant is nothing compared to the controlled plant. Now about the color, on of the plants that hadn’t grown yet  (I think that’s because there is a stick sticking out of that says M for manipulated and I thank it affected the plant not to grow till this week) it is right now orange! Now again my group looked at other groups but this time no group had what my group had. So we know that the sugar water made that happen but why? Well, we think that plants make a different kind of sugar but we don’t know. And there is one more observation that I will like to tell you, the observation that I will like to tell you is that for the manipulated plant and the control too most of the the days the soil was dry, I just wanted to throw that out to you, you probably were thinking it was going to be something big, but, sorry! Well if you’re still there I think that I have nothing there left to say so I hope you liked this essay.

Plant Observations #1

My class split on into groups but you only go with people the want to do the same experiment as you. The experiment that my group did for our plant was that instead of putting normal water my group is putting sugar water. My hypothesis is that the plant will have more leaves than with plain water. We thought that because plants reproduce on sugar so why not give if more sugar. Will the plant make a difference?

 

I found out that it does make a difference if you give a plant sugar water vs if you give the plant regular water. It actually made a big difference. The difference was that the control grew so much leaves, I thought that the control was going to be better than the manipulated but the next day I saw the manipulated had some growth too. It was 1/4 of an inch and it was growing in a straight line but it did not grow enough to beat the control. Today I saw a sprout on the manipulated one and it was purple, why is that?

This is the Control (it grow so much more, this photo was taken on May 8, 2017.)

This is the Manipulated (sorry there is no purple sprout and it’s because this this photo was taken on May 8, 2017, sorry.)
