Plant Observations #4
Since we have pollinated, the leaves have been looking yellow, dark green, and purple. We have 7 pods. One purple stem and the rest are dark green. Soil was dry.
Since the last blog post the plant has been dying more and the leaves have been falling off. We also have bigger pods and more pods.
I think there will be two seeds. I think the seeds are going to look the same as they were in the beginning. I think this is because I got a little sneak peak at the seeds from high view.
I have learned that Mountain Dew kills your plant. And you should not pour too much water or not pour too little water. Plants need photosynthesis. Pollination makes the leaves fall off and the plants die. Photosynthesis is the process of when plants convert light, carbon dioxide and water and lets out oxygen. We gave our manipulated plant mountain dew. When we noticed that the plant was dying we tried to bring it back to life by giving it lots of water. But it failed. So then we just threw the plant in the garbage. For the controlled plant we gave it water then it was growing then we had to pollinate the plant then the leaves started to fall off. Our tallest plant was dying. We picked out the good pods which was only one so our group did rock paper scissors and I won. So I picked out the pod. But for two people in my group the get to open the pod and take the seeds. Here is our plant schedule we put are plants on a tray we take observations someone waters the plant. We take turns and i am 3rd. The plant took like 2 days to grow a sprout and than it just quickly grew into a pretty plant.
Plants Blog Post #3
We pollinated our plants and then I noticed that were starting to get pods but i also noticed that the leaves and the pedals are falling off. Before we pollinated our plants our tallest plant died because someone was squeezing and pinching the plant so that’s why the plants won’t be that tall.
Here are my observations for the controlled plant shortest plant 2 inch. Tallest plant 2 and a half inches. Widest leaf 1 centimeter wide. Least widest leaf a quarter of a centimeter wide wow that’s small! After we pollinated our plants there were starting to get pods and now the plant has 8 pods that’s a lot! Our plants grow about a quarter of a centimeter a day. Some leafs are even more than 1 centimeter wide. For the controlled plants its pretty high one of the plant is 3 and a half inches long. Some are 2 inches long and 2 and a half inches long.
I notice for the controlled plant that some of the colors on the leaves are dark green and some are light green. For one of the plants the stem is bent but for the rest of the plants the stem is straight up. The leaves are very straight and some leaves are bending some leaves are small and some leaves are big. There were lot’s of flowers blooming but after we pollinated the plant the flowers and some leaves starting falling off but then there will be a seed. After we pollinated our plants there were lot’s of pods it started out with 3 pods than 5 than 6 and now there is 8 pods! Isn’t that awesome. I think there will be a lot of more pods because I think there will keep on getting more pods. And I think that maybe every leaf will fall of because already a lot of leaves fell off so I think more leaves will fall off.

Plant Observations #2
Here are my observations for the past 6 days. On may 9th my observation for the controlled plant was that 1 plant is an inch tall. The plants were very green. There were 9 plants and on each of the plants had 4 leaves. And my observation for the manipulated plant was that nothing happened at all.
On may 10th my observations for the controlled one was that 1 plant was an inch tall. And one leaf died because someone accidentally poured mountain dew on the controlled leaf. And my observations were for the manipulated plant was that nothing happened. On may 10th we didn’t observe so on May 11th my observations were for the controlled plant was that 1 plant was 2 inch tall. 1 leaf was different from the rest of the leaves. And my observations for the manipulated plant was that nothing happened.
My observations on May 12th were for the controlled plant was that 1 plant was 2 inches a quarter tall. 1 flower is blooming. 1 leaf is 2 in a half centimeters wide. And for the controlled plant that still nothing happened.
My observations on May 15th because we didn’t observe on Friday and on the weekends. So my observations were for the controlled plant was that 1 plant was 3 inches tall. 1 leaf is 4 centimeters wide. Shortest plant is a half an inch tall. All leaves were very green. And for the manipulated plant was that still nothing happened.
On May 16th my group had to chose which plants to snip out because we had way to much plants so we need room for the plants so that’s why there will not be that much plants on the picture. My observations were 1 plant is 3 inches and a quarter long. Lot’s of flowers blooming. 1 leaf is 5 centimeters wide. 4 plants because we snipped a lot of plants of. 1 leaf 1 centimeters wide. Leaves are very green.
For the manipulated plant all of the plants were dead so now were trying to bring all of the manipulated plants alive so we gave it a lot of water because the plants didn’t get to have water yet be cause we gave it mountain dew for our experiment. It didn’t grow back yet but hopefully it will grow back soon. I think the manipulated plant didn’t grow because it had way too much sugar in the Mountain Dew it had 77 grams and it had corn syrup.

Plant Observations #1
My class has been working on plants. We had to come up with a question. And my groups question was: If we put mountain dew on the plant would it grow taller. Because mountain dew has lot’s of sugar in it and plants produce sugar so we thought it would be a fun experiment. My hypothesis was that it would not grow taller. We had a manipulated and a controlled plant The manipulated plant was with mountain dew not water. And our control on was with water.
The first day nothing happened to both of the plants. And the second day the controlled one grew a little sprout. The third day it was the same.The 4th day the controlled one was an inch. And on the fifth day it was an inch and a quarter. And now the manipulated plant didn’t grow at all and the controlled one is an inch and a quarter. We had 1 problem and the problem was someone accidentally spilled mountain dew on the controlled plants leaf and then it died. Every day we take observations of the plant and measure the plant. And every end and start of the day someone waters the controlled with regular water, and the manipulated one with mountain dew. And we do 2 drops for the manipulated and controlled plant. I wonder what will happen next. I predict that the controlled plant will grow a lot and look beautiful. And I think nothing will ever happen to the manipulated plant. I think the manipulated plant isn’t growing because it has caffeine and 77 grams of sugar and corn syrup. I wonder what will happen next.
This was my controlled plant from about 5 days ago.
This is my manipulated plant from about 5 days ago.

Pokemon
Pokemon is very cool. If you don’t know what it is I will tell you. It is lot’s of different trading cards trust me there are a lot of different cards. There is about 5000 and more. You battle people here is how there are one two or three damages but mostly two. And the number of the damage is how much you do to the other pokemon. Yes there are two pokemon cards at a time one of the cards is yours and the other card is someone else. There is a life thing on the top that is how many life you have it is a number. You can have lot’s of life or a little amount of life, and the other person that is playing you does a damage and let’s say you have 100 life and he does 20 damage you have 80 life and so on and so on. You have to read under damage before you use that damage it could say if you use this damage you lose 20 life and lot’s of other stuff. I hope you liked this post here is a picture of pokemon.
My Bar Graph
My class has been working on graphs. My classmates had partners but I was solo. I was surveying my classmates on which college they wanted to go to when they grew up. It was very interesting, surprisingly Stanford won. I chose Penn. The choices were Stanford, Duke, Michigan, Penn and Cornell.
It was very hard but at the end I had a really big sheet and I was doing so much work. I used tons of colored pencils sharpies and more.
Today we went on a website and made a graph. I chose a bar graph. The first website did not work so we had to go on another website. The other website was annoying because it made you plan it all over again. But finally I did it and it was a whole ton of fun! Here is a picture of my graph.
Fidget Spinners
I love fidget spinners. After you read this you will probably love fidget spinners too. Fidget spinners are things that spin. I know that sounds boring but it is actually addicting. There are really good spinners that spin for about 2 minutes or there are some that only spin for 30 seconds. There are a lot of different kinds of spinners. There are small ones, there are big ones and a whole lot more. The fidget spinners that I prefer are the ones with caps and if you don’t know what I mean I will show you. 
That is the one I prefer there are small spinners with caps trust me if you see one you will know. The spinners with caps on it are very hard to break. If your friends have a fidget spinner you could battle with them. I will show you two ways to battle. One way is you could see which spinner goes longer. Another way is you could touch the other fidget spinner with your fidget spinner and see which one is still spinning. Now you know how cool fidget spinners are if you do not have one get one.
Preview of the Parent Trap
The movie The Parent Trap is a really good movie and now I will tell you all about the movie. At the start two parents break up so one kid goes with the mom and one kid goes with the dad. The two kids meet at camp and at first they did not like each other and they were pulling funny pranks. Then they both got in trouble and they had to be in a bunk together. And then they were friends then one, the girl that was with the dad, showed a ripped picture of her dad and the girl that was with the mom showed a ripped picture of her mom. They saw that the two pictures fit together so then they realized that they were twins. And the girl that was with the dad wanted to see what her mom was like and the girl that was with the mom wanted to see what her dad was like so they switched when sleep away camp was done. If you want to see what happens next go see the movie.
