Controlled

My controlled plant has lots of pods, each stem has 4 leaves, the tallest is 5 inches while the shortest is 4 1/2 inches off the ground. It has grown and gotten many more pods since my second blog post. I think there are 3 – 4 seeds in my plants pods.

Manipulated

We did was manipulate the light. Sadly, my manipulated plant has died. What we did was manipulate the light. So my group threw it into the trash. It died looking yellow with very light brown colored soil.

What I Learned

I learned about photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is…

water + air/co2 + sunlight = glucose

I also learned about pollination. Pollination is when a bug or wind carries pollen from one flower to another. It creates a seed.

Another thing I learned that the stem carries water and nutrients to the rest of the plant, the roots collect water and minerals for the rest of the plant. And that the leaves collect co2.

My controlled plant has been growing very well. It is green with yellow flowers, it has 4 leaves, the tallest is 4 and a half inches tall while the shortest stands at 2 and a half inches. So far (the past few weeks) my controlled plant has grown 2 and a half inches.

 

Sadly, my manipulated plant hasn’t grown as well. It is light green and has no buds, it has 3 leaves, the tallest is 2 and a half inches and my shortest just barely stands 1 inch off the ground. In the past few weeks it hasn’t grown. My manipulated plant is dying.

 

I think this happened because my manipulated plant was by the window and it wasn’t very sunny outside. So the plant didn’t get enough light.
