On May 3rd we planted our controlled plant. We had to get the cells and put wicks in the cells then we planted. The controlled one was just like planting a regular plant we did not change anything. So there was just soil, seeds and ferdilizer So you will just see a normal plant grow. On May 3rd we planted our manipulative plant, but before that we had to set up the cells just like we did before we planted the controlled. A manipulative is when you change one of the thing a regular plant uses to something else an example is to change the soil to coffee grinds. (just like I did.) Then you have to see what will happen. We also recorded what our plant looked like every day. Also we numbered the cells to know which one we were talking about when we recorded it. We have to water the plant every day to keep it healthy. We also put the plant under a light that we pretended was the sun.
