Will the lavender Grow Better in light or dark? • Parts of the plant • Function of organic compounds • Common uses for our herb • What effects the lavenders growth • Photosynthesis • Procedures and methods • Graph • Observations • conclusion • bibliography
Parts of the lavender leaf flower Stem
Function of ORGANIC COMPOuNDS • Lavender has a unique smell that attracks insects • This helps the lavender reproduce making this an adaption
COMMON USES FOR LAVENDER • Flowers and leaves are used for cooking • Flowers are often used fresh salads • Produces honey • Flower buds are used for essential oils which is the basic lavender flavor
What 3 factors effect the growth of lavender ? • Sunlight • Water • Temperature
Photosynthesis • The function of photosynthesis to convert the energy given by the sun and turn it into sugar and food for the plant • The organelle responsible for photosynthesis is the chloroplast • Radiant energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis sunlight+carbon dioxide+ water sugar+oxygen
Procedures and methods • get two plastic cups(one for light and one for dark • Get two pieces of green colored tape and write your group number and all your groups names • Place 3 cotton balls on the bottom of each cup • Fill each cup up with soil • Place 3 seeds in each cup of soil • Now place one cup on the light tray and one on the dark • You must water each plant daily
Observations • Our plant never grew. The process of a plant growing towards the light or away from the light is called positive and negative phototropism • Our plant never grew so we were not able to see the roots grow. • Our plant never grew so we were not able to see anything unusual grow
cONCLUSION • In the end our plant never grew • The data did not support our hypothesis • Questions we thought of during this investigation were, how tall will the plant grow? Will it grow better in light or dark?
