For this experiment, we decided to take a potato and place it into a bin with soil and nothing else. The potato was then set into a container with a light about the potato to provide heat and energy for the potato.

When we set up our potato , we decided to use a potato in damaged condition so we can see if there would be any change in the life of the potato. We placed the potato into a bin with soil and watered it. We then took the potato to a cabinet and left it in the dark with no sunlight.

Answer the following questions with regards to your experiment and data collection.

How is cell division demonstrated in this lab?

It was demonstrated by the regrowth of plants that were only parts of a whole plant and their cell divided in order to survive and grow

What is the definition of cell differentiation?

The process by which a cell becomes specialized in order to perform a specific function

How is cell differentiation demonstrated in this lab? (What evidence do you have of stem cells being present in your plant scrap?) The purpose of the potato in this lab was mainly suppose to grow larger then the potato had started.

Students who tried using only the leaf portion of the plant, the fruit of the plant, or the flower portion of the plant did not see any regrowth.  Explain why some students’ experiments failed.)

This could be because of lack of water or a heat source.

Summarize the results of your experiment. Our result was a failure becasue our plant was

Our potato in the end was a fail due to to much water on the potato and causing it to have mold build up.

Explain whether your data supported or refuted your hypothesis.

Explain any improvements you could make and/or any errors that occurred during the lab experience.

With more improvement, we could of added less water to the plant and added more sunlight to the plant to cause a better result for the potato.

1. Create a data table that includes the following information:

1. Mass (grams) of each plant: Control: 99.3 grams, No water: 15.7, No sun: 44.3

2. Height of each plant. Control: 4 cm, No water: 4 cm, No light: 3 cm

3. Width of each plant: Control: 7 cm, No water: 5 cm, No light: 5.3 cm

4. Additional qualitative description. Biggest potato for this experiment. It also has many spuds. No water: Has spuds and is the littlest potato in the experiment. No light: Has spuds and is also a little smaller then the control potato for this lab.

Explain your Set up and include a picture

Our set up was based on our conditions of the potato. We took the most healthy looking potato and place it into a plastic bin with soil inside of the bin. We then poured water onto the healthy potato (Control Plant). We then place it into a container with a bright light to give the potato energy.

For our potato lab, Harrison and Jacob expected to see a growth in the potato and an increase in size and weight. With hopefully good results in the end, Harrison and Jacob hoped to see no mold or bacteria growing in the soil or plant. If any of this were to occur, the plant would fall apart and be known to be a fail.

Information should include:

1. What is the scientific name of the plant?
Solanum tuberosum

2. What type of plant is it?

3. What are the ideal environmental growing conditions?
Sun, water, and rich soil

4. What are at least 3 Interesting facts about your plant?
-Soaking the potatoes in Gatorade overnight can make them more conductive.
-Today potatoes are grown in all 50 states of the USA and in about 125 countries throughout the world.
-The average American eats about 124 pounds of potatoes per year while Germans eat about twice as much.

Include pictures, videos, articles to answer these questions.
