WEEKLY PLAN 25TH MARCH

EXPERIMENT A

Do plants move?

What do yo need?

• A little plant in a pot.
• A box with a circuit for light designed by you.

Procedure:

Insert a little pot into a box, with several walls in the way, stopping the light from getting straight to the plant base.

Leave one side open for you to watch.

Water regularly.

Wait for a week or longer to see how the plant tries to reach the light.

Answer the question: which way do you think the plants will grow?
Make your hypothesis, report your findings and draw a conclusion after you test your hypothesis. 

EXPERIMENT B

How does a leaf get water?

You need:
- a branch of a tree or a large plant
- a ziploc bag

• Choose a plant from home or a tree in your backyard, and attach a Ziploc bag to it, enclosing a branch covered in leaves.
• Seal the Ziploc enough to hold it in place. You can also use a plastic grocery bag and tie the handles in a knot to secure it.
• Leave the bag on the tree for a week, checking it every day.
• Observe what happens to the zip bag. Describe and draw your conclusion.
