To pollinate our plants, we used our finger to touch over every flower. Then after we touched every flower we washed our hands of the pollen. The change in our plant was that it started to die. But there are also lines that are green and are beginning to grow seeds. Our group was so happy!
Our observations of the control plant was that the plant was big. It was 16 centimeters! We were sad because it only had 15 leaves. There were more pods and buds in the control plant. We also noticed that it smelled a little bit like dog poop. Our observations of the manipulated plant was that it still wasn’t growing. Not even a little green! The soil was dry and it smelled a little bit like seltzer and a little bit like nothing. We were hoping it would grow more and were confused why it didn’t.
Next week I think that the control plant will maybe die some more. I think the plant will be bigger but may be tilted to the side a little bit. I think the manipulated plant will continue to grow nothing. I think this because the soil was dry a little bit and there was no green in the soil.
This is my control:
This is my manipulated:
