Plant Observations #1

on May 12, 2017

My class has been studying plants. We had to come up with a question. My group’s question was what would happen if we poured Mountain Dew on a plant we wanted to do it because Mountain Dew has a lot of sugar and plants produce sugar. My hypothesis was if I give a plant mountain dew then the plant will not grow. We had a controlled plant and a manipulated plant. We gave our controlled plant water, dirt and fertilizer our manipulated plant had Mountain Dew instead of water.

On the first day nothing happened to both plants. On the second day there was a little sprout for the controlled plant nothing for the other plant. Over the weekend the controlled plant grew one inch on the fourth day our controlled plant grew one quarter of an inch. Still nothing happened with the other plant. Our controlled plant is doing a lot better than our manipulated plant. One problem that we ran into was that someone spilled mountain dew on a plant and a leaf died but another leaf started growing it is smaller than the other leafs. Everyday we take observations of our plants and we have a schedule for watering the plants we water the plants everyday we do two drops of water and two drops of Mountain Dew.

 

I don’t think the Mountain Dew plant is not going to grow I think it is dead. I wonder what is in the mountain dew plant that is causing the plant not to grow. I think it is either the sugar or the caffeine there is seventy seven grams of sugar or it might be the corn syrup that is messing up the plant. I wonder what will happen next.
