Experiment #1 Phototropism

Objective:  To see if plants follow the light in a maze

Hypothesis  I think that the plant will follow the maze all the way around till the end.

Materials:  Cardboard box with a lid  Scissors  Light source  A growing plant  Cardboard to make the maze  Water (to water the plant as needed)

Activity:  1. Build a plant maze out of a cardboard box like the one shown in the next slide. Use a sprouted sweet potato or a sturdy bean seedling. Face the outside opening toward a bright light or window. 

 2. Put a light-proof cover on the maze. You may remove the cover each day to see if the plant needs watering and to check on its growth.

My observations  1.By day 2 the plant got through the first opening.  2. By day 4 the plant got through the second opening.  3. By the second week the plant got through the third opening.  4. By the end of the 3 week the plant finally came out the last hole.

Conclusion  The plant came out as I suspected then it came out nice through out the last hole.The plant died 3 days later.
