To answer these questions I wanna start by adding that the plants we are planting are radishes. "why the application of cold temperature may be limiting the energy of the plant." That is because the cold temperature slows down the process of photosynthesis and the water itself, causing the plant to grow slower, and this is why it is smaller than the rest of the plants. "Why does your team think the room temperature plant is not able to produce a strong upright stem?" We believe it is because the room temperature plant is not receiving as much energy and light source. (Room temperature) "Is it much taller than the plants from the other test conditions? I will attach images that show the process of the plants during these last few weeks, to answer this question.

Testimonials I liked that we didn’t know what was going to happen before we did the experiment. Instead of being taught something and then just doing an experiment to prove it, we made an attempt to find out what would happen ourselves.” - PlantingScience Student At every opportunity, all involved kept reminding my students of the process that real science requires. This helped me to convince my students that they are really doing science - not just play acting until some future date.” - PlantingScience Teacher It is a lot of fun interacting with students from an age group I don’t have the chance to spend a lot of time with. It is a good reminder of where public knowledge of plant science stands, and a great opportunity for me to practice explaining key concepts in a simple and straightforward way.” - PlantingScience Mentor Resources Browse our continually expanding user-submitted content that covers a broad range of topics.
