Our manipulated and our controlled are both dead. The leaves were brown. It had no pods. It was drooping. Our manipulated is dead because of the sugar water. Our controlled is dead because of the water. We tried to bring our manipulated back to life before we threw it out. It didn’t work. We did the same thing with our controlled. That didn’t work either. The flowers were losing petals. The soil always stayed the same. Our manipulated died of the sugar water. Our controlled is dead because of the water. We tried to bring our manipulated back to life before we threw it out. It didn’t work. We did the same thing with our controlled. That didn’t work either.

We learned that photosynthesis is basically just making glucose. The leaves make glucose. They use water, air, and sunlight. Water+Air+Sunlight=Glucose.

We also learned that pollination is when an animal that pollinates flowers comes inside the flower to get nectar. It rubs the pollen from the inside of the flower on its body an when it comes to another flower, the pollen rubs off in the flower.

We also learned about the parts of a plants jobs. So, the pollinater rubs the pollen on the flower and the pollen goes down a tube called a pollen tube! The ovule holds the eggs which forms into a seed. And those are just some of the things we learned.

Plants all have some way to get out of the shade of the tree they were made on. It’s how they survive. They need to get out of the shade because if they stay in the shade, they won’t grow right. Because a plant needs sunlight and water. If they are in the shade they won’t get any sunlight. And the tree above them will get all the water. Also, if all the seeds the tree makes are right under it they will all fight over water, sunlight, and air. And plants do not like to share.
