After two weeks the data for our controlled  plants was cell one had 4 leaves 3 buds and 10 cm tall, the second cell had 10 leaves and 5 buds, the third cell had 9 leaves 10 buds and was 11 cm tall, our fourth cell had 4 leaves 10 buds and was 8 cm tall. In each cell the plants were yellow and green.

In our manipulated cell one was dead, cell 2 was dead and call 4 was dead. But cell 3 had 18 leaves and it was l3 cm tall. Most of our cells were dead because the was less soil.

I think our plants died because there was less soil and the plants did not have all the minerals it needs to grow.

First we added wick on the bottom of the quad a wick is a paper root. Then we added soil in the quad. A quad is a foam box with cells in it so you can plant plants in them. Then we added three fertilizer pellets,  fertilizer pellets are seeds that can help the plant grow. Finally we added seeds in each cell. Our scientific question was what is the effect of less soil?

 

This is my group’s plants.

On the first day that our plant started growing in cell one it had 4 leaves and it was 1 and a half cm tall, the second cell had 4 leaves and it was 1 cm tall, the third cell had 4 leaves and it was 1 cm tall, the fourth cell had 8 leaves and it was 2 cm tall. As our plant grew we noticed that our plants started getting taller and soon enough buds came up. After a while we noticed that our controled grew flowers, the flowers were yellow but as the plant grew it started tilting down. In that quad the cell 1 had 9 leaves and was 4 cm tall, cell 2 had 16 leaves and was 11 cm tall , cell 3 had 10 leaves and was 10 cm tall and had 8 buds, cell 4 had 11 leaves.

After our plants grew flowers the next step was to pollinate. To pollinate we had to either use  Q – tips or our fingers. To pollinate we had to put our finger or Q -tip inside the flower and tap it very gently. After we pollinated the difference was the flower started to die but then we realized that seed pods were coming out.

On our manipulated cell one was dead  and cell four was dead but cell three had 10 leaves, 5 buds, and was 8cm tall. The  reason of this was because there was less soil in the quad.

I think next the seed pods will get bigger because if it grows it will get bigger.
