Week 2 of the Plant Unit

 

For this 2nd week of this plant unit, our  groups plant got much larger. Now it has buds and our gatorade plant grew! Our group was so excited when we found out our manipulated plant was the only one that grew. The problem was it had some pink leaves and I wonder if  pink leaves is a bad sign or a good sign. Cell 3’s plant had mold on it until now it still has the mold on it and it has not grown at all when the other ones have grown. At the end it looked like they were dying. The controlled plant was really big but not bigger than others. Today (Thursday)  most cells have 7 buds! One has 2 and another one has 6. We were very excited when we saw it had buds. My class and I made a no sunlight plant. It was much different than the other plants. My class knew it was not gonna be a healthy plant because the stem is white and the leaves are yellow! I wonder why the plant is so tall but has no leaves but the healthy ones are not growing fast but has a lot of leaves.  I watered and observed the no sunlight plant two days ago. I think that it needs sunlight to grow. Also while doing this unit from Mystery Science we learned plants need soil for the minerals to grow.Our plants have grown a lot in week 2! I noticed on Friday 4 flowers bloomed! Now four flowers have bloomed! The flowers were yellow and the middle was green. On Friday 5/19/17 the controlled cells have grown tons. Cell 1 is 4 cm, Cell 2 is 3 cm, Cell 3 is 9 cm and Cell 4 is 3 cm! The manipulated plants have not grown a lot, cell 1 is only 1 cm, Cell 2 is ½ cm Cell 3 is o cm and Cell 4 is 1 cm. I am excited to see what plant it will grow to be. I figured out the plant we grew was a plant that grows fast, at first I thought it took a year for every flower to grow. I think our plants are very healthy!

 

This is our gatorade plant It is actually growing!

 

This is the No Sunlight plant. It looks pretty weird.
