About Our Project

By
Our project is to study a Brassica olercea plant, cabbage (I know, so exciting), when affected by an independent variable of our own choosing. Thus...we chose to saturate a couple of pots with different amounts of chlorophyll..that stuff that makes plants green! But, chlorophyll isn't just there to turn your plants green...it's vital for the photosynthesis process (when plants turn sunlight and water into food). Without it, plants wouldn't able to create their own food. More chlorophyll would hopefully make the photosynthesis process a lot faster, which means the growth will probably be impacted.

So we created a hypothesis: If chlorophyll is vital for plant growth and photosynthesis, then added chlorophyll allow the growing time to decrease.

Blog post #8: A Matter of Selection (Grace Slone)

Over many months of observing and monitoring the growth of our Brassica oleracea plant, there are many things that have become known. However, Brassica oleracea has not stayed the same for all of its existence on earth. It has changed, adapted, and gone through a process called natural selection in order to form new variations of the same species. The part of the plant that I decided to observe were the leaves of the plant. I noticed that the leaves in the various plants had a range in width from 1.5 cm to 16 cm. I also noticed that the leaves in the plants had a range in length from 6 cm to 24 cm. These two facts prove that compared to other parts of the plant, the leaves have the greatest variation and depend mostly on what type of Brassica oleracea plant it is. I think that there is so much variation in Brassica oleracea because over time, as the plants have been planted in various locations, they have needed to adapt to their new environments, an

Seed Germination Lab Report

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to try and see how liquid chlorophyll affects seed germination, and whether water, chlorophyll, or a mixture of both would create a larger sprout. This is significant because in a plant, chlorophyll helps produce the food, so by supplying it for the plant, we wanted to know if it would affect the growth. As a result of this seed germination lab, added chlorophyll did not affect the growth of the seeds at all, leaving the only plant with 10 ml of water to grow up to 4cm tall. The rest of this report will share our results, data, and intentions put into this project. Introduction: In our experiment, we started out with our question, can liquid chlorophyll increase plant growth? After that, we researched the chlorophyll online, and we bought 16 fl oz of chlorofresh at Sprouts.  We went on to make our hypothesis, if chlorophyll is vital in photosynthesis, then added chlorophyll would reduce the amount of time the plant needed to grow. Then,
