Our controlled and manipulated both died so we threw away them. This is what it looked like as before we threw away it.

Our controlled was drooping but still healthy. The colors were purple, green, yellow and white. The height was 10 and ½. the shortest is 6 and ½. The texture is smooth with bumps on the end. It feels velvety.

Our manipulated was less green and brown. It was crooked and barely any flowers so it shows that sugar water isn’t good for plants. The highest was 7cm and the shortest was 1 and ½.

The plants were Wisconsin fast growing plants. We threw away the plants because they both died. R.I.P to our plants.

 

What  I learned from this plant unit is photosynthesis makes glucose from water, CO2 and light. Photo means light and synthesis means to put together.

I also learned pollination is necessary for reproduction because pollination is moving pollen from one flower to another flower creates a new plant.

The roots of a plant holds a plant sturdy and sucks up minerals and water. The stem carries water and food to other parts of the plant and holds the plant to sunlight. The leaves holds food for future uses and collects sunlight. The flower petals act like a landing pan and attracts insects. The flower is the key to reproduction and honey. The fruit holds seeds for reproduction. The sepal protects the bud. A seed holds the embryo and the plant food

 

I LOVED this plant session!!!

After two weeks of observing, our controlled plant is drooping but is still green and healthy with purple and flowers but less than last week. The highest was 8 cm. The lowest is 3 and ½ cm. The texture is smooth and is velvety and bumpy.

After two weeks of observing, the manipulated plant is brown and crooked because it  is dying.the green is fading because there is no more chlorophyll. The height is 7 cm and 3 and ½ cm. The texture is bumpy and the plant is crooked.

So for now I think the controlled is growing better.

We started our plant unit, Yay! My group is Greta and Rachel G. our experiment is to add sugar water to the manipulated plant. We have 2 plants. One is controlled which has everything perfection, the other is the manipulated which we changed one thing which was sugar water. My hypothesis is that if I give it sugar water, the plant will grow taller because plants produce glucose/plant food (made by photosynthesis) which is sugar so it will grow taller.

After one week, our controlled plant’s highest plant is 6 cm, the shortest is 2 and ½ cm. The color is purple, white, pink and green. The texture is smooth and bumpy. There is 2 to 3 leaves and buds.

After one week, our manipulated plant has FLOWERS!!! Guess the sugar water worked. The highest is 6 and ½ cm. The shortest is 2 cm. The texture is smooth. The color is yellow, green and white. Their is 2 to 3 flowers and 4 buds.

Compared to the controlled, the manipulated is growing better because it has flowers and it is greener and healthier.
