When are you starting the experiment? Do you think the water with the sugar will be able to penetrate the seeds and initiate growth? Eliane Norman |

Thank you! Thank you for all your help Ms.Eliane Norman we learned alot. We enjoyed this project and thanks to you we know more about soy beans. Sincerely, Rise of the plant |

Looks like you are in the final stages of your projects It’s great to see that teams from your school are wrapping up and posting conclusions. Enjoy the final stages of your project, and feel free to post any final comments or questions you have for your mentors. |

Do you think the sugar molecules can enter the roots? |

I think your experiment is beginning to shape up. When do you plan to startit? Why do you think the salt will keep the plant from using the water while sugar will act differently? Eliane Norman |

Renew Were are now realizing that that amount of salt concentration was lethal, not doing any research was a mistake on our part. In response we are going to redo the expeiment entirely. To find the correct concetration so that our soy beans will grow. |

We have decided to make it 10% salt concentration, which will make it 3grams of salt. |

Dr. Eliane Norman
(Scientist/Mentor)
How did you decide on these concentrations? do you realize that the 24% salt walter that you plan is about 8 times more salty than salt water from the ocean. That is rather extreme. |

We found out the salt concentration and the sugar concentration. This will help us find out how the soybeans will grow with that amount of salt and sugar.-+ |

thank you for the photos. Why is there so little soil in each of your pots? Normally we fill the pots nearly to the top; this allows the roots to expand. Eliane Norman |

Looking forward to your photos. will you be watering them everyday, except week ends? how big are the pots? 20 ml of liquid is not a large amount . will it be sufficient? e. Norman |

We just watered the plants for the first time today. We used 20ml of water for each and 5ml of salt and sugar for the sugar plant and for the salt plant. |

Are you testing two types of variables, that is temperature of water as well as sugar and salt? If so , you'll need more than 30 seeds. I would recommend to start with only one type of variable, that is either water temperature or additives to water. It's better to begin with a simple scheme especially since you havent hypothesized as to the actions of the additives, i.e, salt and sugar. eliane Norman |

Introduction Hello, My name is Zuri. I am 15 years old and attending Seoul American Highschool as a sophmore. I have been taking korean for 3 years and my favorite subject is actually science. I have an older brother who is about to graduate from Savanah College of Art and Design, and two younger siblings attend this high school and the Seoul American Middle school. Whil botany isn't my favorite aspect of science I think this will be a very fun and educational expeirence. And Im sorry for sending this late. Sincerely, Zuri |

can we use water, vegetable oil, and vinegar one in each growth chamber to see how the soy beans will be affected? |
||
|

|
October 10, 2011 | 6:13 PM |
Dr. Eliane Norman
(Scientist/Mentor)
So you've increased the number of seeds for each treatment. Are the growth chamber temperatures the same in each? what I am trying to infer is that the temperature of the water will only be temporary when theplants are watered but then the soil mixture will tend to come to ambient temperature. do you think that will make a difference? E. Norman |

Dr. Eliane Norman
(Scientist/Mentor)
Perhaps you could increase the number of seeds in each group to 10 at least. Will they be grown in a common pot or individually? It might be interesting to see how another more heat loving species react to these conditions, perhaps tomatoes or perhaps you can think of another common one that thrives under hotter conditions that you can try. good luck |

New Research Question We have realized that we can't measure photosynthesis so we are going to research the affect of water temeratures on the soy bean's growth. |

October 5, 2011 | 9:30 AM |
Dr. Eliane Norman
(Scientist/Mentor)
How are you going to measure photosynthesis? How many seeds are you starting with? what amount of water are you using? Is it on daily basis? |

Welcome! I am happy to welcome you to this community of plant researchers. Your team has the opportunity to be mentored by a scientist to help you develop and perform your own research project. The mentor's role is to encourage and guide you through the scientific process of discovery. The more you share your ideas and research information online, the more your mentor can help. Your scientist mentor for this project will be Dr. Eliane Norman from Stetson University. Please introduce yourself and post some possible research topic ideas to get a conversation rolling. These resources are available to help you get started: Thinking Like a Scientist / Working Like a Scientist Designing Experiments Guide to Using A Spreadsheet Best wishes as you start this scientific journey. We are all pleased to share this experience with you. Have fun! Sincerely, The PlantingScience team |
