The carrots grew initially then decreased in overall mass due to drought.

Weight


Our carrots grew but not by very much. This is mainly due to the fact that we let them dry out between weeks 1 and 2 


Background Information About Your Plant

Information should include: 
1. What is the scientific name of the plant?
Daucus carota subsp. sativus
2. What type of plant is it?
Vegetable
3. Where did the plant originate from geographically?
Afghanistan
4. What are the ideal environmental growing conditions?
They grow fastest in 15-18 degrees celsius

5.  What is the length of time for maturity from seed?
70-80 days
6. What is the length of time for maturity from regeneration?
 Depending on type of carrot 70-80 days
7. What are at least 3 Interesting facts about your plant?
There are yellow, white, purple, and orange carrots.
***Include pictures, videos, articles to answer these questions. 



Hypothesis
The carrot with the most water will have the most growth.
Variables in My Experiment:

Independent Variable -The amount of water our carrots received.
Dependent Variable - The amount of new carrot growth.
Controlled Variables in My Experiment

What are you keeping consistent between your control and experimental groups?
We keep our light exposure, container and the amount of water we added the same for all groups.
Control Group:

Our control group a minimal amount of water (___g). Otherwise it was the same as the others.

Explain Setup and include a picture
Experimental Group:

Our experimental group had a large amount of water (___g)

Explain Setup and include a picture
Control Group:

Explain Setup and include a picture
Data Collection:


  1. Include labeled pictures of each plant for each time your collect data.  Think back to the time lapse video shown in class on regeneration.


Graph of Data

Create graph(s) of the data
Analysis:(Both do separately) 

In a short paragraph summarize all the data collected in the experiment.  Include both qualitative and quantitative examples/data from the lab. 

The carrots started out relatively small then increased in mass from there. They almost immediately showed signs of new growth through leaves. However, due to drought, their leaves died and the carrots seemed to turn white at the top. This also coincided with a large loss in mass.
