  1. Fast Plants

  2. The Story of Fast Plants • The fast plants started many years ago in a faraway kingdom of Nepal, On the mountainside of the Himalayas. A farmer walked over to see his newly planted barley plants. Snow had just recently melted so the farmer didn’t think any of his plants would have been grown, but to his surprise they were. Then the next time that the farmer went to look the plants were flowering and he picked a few the remainders attracted many honey bees

  3. The Story of Fast Plants • The farmer intelligently kept a few seeds from each year to plant the next year. When the farmer died his grandchildren were still using the same plants and saving some each year. A plant explorer from America came to see the plants. Teachers and students alike both try to find how the weedy brassicas and other plants grow so fast.

  4. Your Challenge • Choose an experiment to perform on your fast plants to explore the plants reaction to different stimulus

  5. Experiment Options Variables: • No Sunlight • Lying on One Side • Hanging Upside Down • Fertilizer • Inside Refrigerator • Acid Rain Control: Plants under the artificial light with constant water

  6. Day One: • Planting- Label Quadrants with Name, Period, A and B • Wicks • Soil halfway • 6 NPK pellets • Fill with Soil • Push in Seeds (2 each) • Sprinkle to cover • Water gently until wicks drip

  7. Day 4-5 • Thinning • Choose the best plant in each quadrant and gently remove the rest by pulling out the root and stem. • Transplant to quadrants or donate for adoption to another group. • Take Heights for each quadrant and record into table • Gently water.

  8. Day 7 • Experimental 1. Record Heights from each quadrant onto your height chart. 2. Gently Water 3. Place Quadrants B in your experimental location.

  9. Observations • Data Days 8-16 • Take daily height chart and weekly drawings of each plant and record into fast plants notebook Days 13-16 Pollinating with bee sticks

  10. Data Tables • Take Daily Heights • Calculate Daily Averages for each Quadrants • Import onto Excel File and report using a line graph of growth. • Compare class data

  11. Conclusions • RECALL • EXPLAIN • RESULTS • UNCERTAINTIES • NEW
