1. Rosemary By: Collin, Eithan, Meghan Period 3 Mr.Martell Science

2. Intro Slide How do light and water affect the growth of herbs in an indoor garden? Our presentation will include facts, observations, and what our conclusion was.

3. Hypothesis We think that our plant will grow better in the light than in the dark because a plant needs light to grow and be healthy.

7. Graph/Data

8. What makes a plant grow Sunlight Water Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen

9. General Plant Information Photosynthesis is pretty much the process of converting carbon dioxide into energy or organic compounds The overall chemical reaction of photosynthesis is Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light energy → Glucose + Oxygen The xylem helps in photosynthesis because it carries the water needed for the process to happen The chloroplast is responsible for conducting photosynthesis

10. Other Observations On the last days there was a little bit of fungus or mold There seemed to be many more sprouts than three The plant grew to the light positive phototropism

11. Conclusion At the end we saw that our dark plant grew the tallest but it wasn’t as healthy as the light plant At the end our dark plant was 5 cm At the end our light plant was 3 cm Our hypostasis wasn’t correct because we said that the light plant would grow taller but turns out that the dark plant grew taller We were correct by saying that our light plant would be healthier than the dark plant
