How Light Affects The Growth Of A Plant & Problems With Too Little Light https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-light-affects-the-growth-of-a-plant-problems-with-too-little-light.htm

A student will start with three plants of the same type (flowering plants generally work best) planted in similar soil and holders. One can be placed in an area of high sunlight exposure, another in an area of medium light exposure and another in an area with little exposure to the sun. Over the period of a week or two, teens can monitor how each plant grows.

This is how light affects the growth of a plant. Without light, a plant would not be able to produce the energy it needs to grow.]]> 2017-08-10 00:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180547519 chloe_thompson2 https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180547641 Plants are affected by light that falls into the “blue” spectrum of the light scale. Daylight, fluorescent light and grow lights all have “blue” tones in them and will help provide the light your plant needs. Incandescent and halogen lights are more “red” and will not help your plant grow. ]]> 2017-08-10 00:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180547641 chloe_thompson2 https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180547794
Sometimes a plant will not get enough light and will have problems with too little light. Plants affected by light shortages or too little blue light will have the following signs:
-Stems will be leggy or stretched out 
- Leaves turn yellow Leaves are too small 
- Leave or stems are spindly Brown edges or tips on leaves - Lower leaves dry up]]> 2017-08-10 00:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180547794 chloe_thompson2 https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180547916 - Green lights are the least effective to plant growth
- Blue light is the most effective
- Red combined with blue helps the plants flower
- cool fluorescent lights help plants grow indoors. ]]> 2017-08-10 00:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180547916 chloe_thompson2 https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180872771 We don't have the right supplies to do the experiment so instead I will conduct a research task. ]]> 2017-08-14 03:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/180872771 luke_evans1 https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/181756164 Wow! Great info. 

What if we just looked at the effects of sunlight?
(Put a plant in the dark, one in the direct sunlight, one in the shade)

Don't forget the controlled variables - the things we keep the same to make sure it's a fair test.]]> 2017-08-20 13:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/chloe_thompson2/3ivbnn7sufrh/wish/181756164
