Data and Results

Analysis
Within the days of the first week, the 45-Watt Lightbulb set-up was able to produce green, healthy-looking seedlings. On the following week, more seedlings sprouted. Those that had already existed since the previous week grew more. On the third week, there was an addition of seedlings. The seedlings that have developed during the previous weeks showed no significant change in their heights. All seedlings remained green in color.
With the 25 Watts light bulb, the plant grew a little. It didn’t grow faster than what is expected. The light was only sustained to the plant during the evening so it explains that the plant isn’t exposed too much to regular sunlight.
The 10 Watts light bulb has provided light and heat to the seeds planted on the soil. Because of this, a week after a couple of days of providing light upon the planted seeds during night time, a sprout started to appear. On the second week, more sprouts became visible. As the third week came, the spouts grew longer and faster.
The growth of the plant was similar to the growth of any other plants which are exposed to its basic needs which are water, air, space, soil and sunlight. Although, it seemed to have

    In the first- three pots a total of seed 32 seeds were placed in each pot (Walsh and Walsh 2015). Each of these pots contained 32 radish seeds, 32 wheat seeds, and 16 seeds of each radish and wheat seeds (Walsh and Walsh 2015). Then, on the other three pots a total of 96 seeds were placed in each pot. Each of these pots contained 96 radish seeds, 96 wheat seeds, and 48 seeds of each radish and wheat seeds (Walsh and Walsh 2015). These pots were placed in a incubator at 20 degree Celsius in a growth chamber at a 14 to 10 light cycle (14 hours in light and 10 hours in dark) and were watered daily for three weeks.…

    A total of four petri dishes were removed in the dark, using only a green safelight. They were then labeled with the variety of seed, group name or initials, the date, and the light treatment. Filter paper was added to each pert dish and then 2-3 dropperfuls of water were added to each plate so that the filter paper was very moist for germination. Then 25 lettuce seeds were placed into each dish. The light regimens were White, Red, Far-Red, and Darkness. Each dish was exposed to their labeled light regimen for 10 minutes. They were kept level and wrapped in foil immediately after exposure. After 48 hours, the seeds were revisited and the total number of seeds germinated in each dish was determined, then figured into a percentage. All the information was gathered together and put into…

    The results for the first fast plant grew taller by three centimeter or five centimeters each week. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. Because of the more fertilizer added to a plant the fast plant grew taller and grew more numbers of leafs. The results for the second fast plant were very similar. The height of the plant had increased by three centimeter to five centimeters. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. The last week…

    The rate of photosynthesis is affected by environmental factors like light intensity, light wavelength, and temperature. This experiment will test the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in a plant called Elodea. Elodea is an easy plant to use for this experiment because it is cheap, abundant, and easy to take care of. This photosynthetic organism needs to be kept in an aerated freshwater tank. To do this experiment, put the Elodea in a beaker of freshwater. Anchor the Elodea using a small weight like a paperclip so that the plant remains in the same position and up right through the entire experiment. Place the beaker of water containing the Elodea in front of a light bulb. In between the beaker and the light bulb, there should be a separate beaker of water that is used to absorb any heat produced by the light. This way the experiment will not be affected by another environmental factor, temperature. Every thirty seconds for five minutes, count the number of bubbles given off by the Elodea. After the first five minutes, move the beaker containing the Elodea about ten centimeters back and let it stand for two minutes so that it can adjust to the new intensity of the light. Count the bubbles released every thirty seconds for five minutes. Move the Elodea back ten more centimeters, let it adjust for two more minutes, then count the number of bubbles…

    The higher the light potential is the more packets of light are said to be hitting the plant. At low intensity’s of light photosynthesis is know to be low, while at higher light intensity’s the rate of photosynthesis is higher. With this being said As the light intensity is risen from low light intensity to high light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis will increase because there is more light available to drive the reactions of…

    For each treatment, we obtained two planting trays with cell flats- in which one corner cell was cut out to water the plants. We filled all cell flats with the fertilized soil and used forceps to place one seed with 3-4mm deep in the middle of each cell. After all trays of cells were planted, we brought these trays in a growth room and watered the plants. In the growth room, the amount of light, the temperature, and the humidity was kept the same for both control and experiment treatments. By using a ruler, we poured water into the trays up to 3 cm through the open-corner cells. We then watered the plants up to 1cm every Monday and Wednesday and up to 3cm every Friday. We also made a log of water that recorded who watered, how much water, and observations of the…

    There were a total of four pots used to test our hypothesis. All the pots where filled with soil until it reach the top of the pot. We then made four small indents in each of the pots towards the middle of the pot and placed a seed, using forceps, in each of the four indents. Once the seeds were in each of the pots, we covered the seeds with the soil around them. The pots were then watered and placed into a large growing plate that was covered with mesh netting.…

    The important concepts that the activity helps the students to understand is the importance of water and sunlight on the life of a plant. With this activity, students are watching their plants sprout from their seeds, and the bottom of the activity mentions reading a book or watch a YouTube video about the plant life cycle. “The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle”, according to Moss (2007), “goes through the plant cycle in a really fun way that kids will enjoy.” The book or the video will help to support their observations about their plants, or help them to understand why their plants were not successful.…
