Hello all! Okay...so today I have officially started my experiment. In the past 2 weeks I had been working on my method for my experiment and have got all my equipment ready.So here goes :)

Equipment:
  • 7 pots (100ml depth)
  • Cellophane sheets (12cm by 14cm): red,yellow,orange,green,blue,pink,clear
  • Potting mix (25grams per plant)
  • Water (20ml for each plant)
  • Watering Can
  • 1 large Pot Tray
  • Measuring tape
  • Gloves
  • Camera
  • Pen and Paper
  • Snow Pea Seeds (21 seeds total per trial)
  • Sticky Tape
  • Sunlight
Method:
  1. Collect all material
  2. Place all 7 pots into the tray in an area where there is plenty of sunlight
  3. Fill each of the pots with 25grams of potting mix
  4. Plant 3 snow pea seeds in each pot
  5. Water each plant with 20ml of water using the water can
  6. Cover the top of each pot with a different coloured sheet of cellophane, taping down the edges.
  7. Take photos of plants' progress every alternate day
  8. Water plants daily
  9. Record measurements and observations of all plants daily
  10. Do steps 7 to 9 for 3 weeks
I think that's all. I'll upload today's photos tomorrow...sorry, right now, I'm too sleepy ....
