Procedure and Calendar
Procedure

o
We designed our
system as a Modified
Wick System.
We collaborated with
our partner group,
concluding that our
independent variable
would be the method
of water transport:
wicks vs. pumps.
Recorded and found
methods of obtaining
our materials.

Plants are located near a window.
And only tap water is being used
Some problems we experienced
during growing include:
–
White spots
–
Paling of color
–
Withering leaves
Now the problems have
disappeared.
Flower-buds are present on leaves.
Growth after October 13, 2008 had
been to much to calculate. But it
has been substantial.
