Experiment Accomplishments So Far

So far in my groups experiment on fast plants, we have gathered out materials and prepared the space for our experiment to take place. We found some buckets and poked holes of different sizes into two of them, then tested each to make sure that they would work. From one streamed a small rain which was very light, from another streamed a heavy rain. After that we found two ring-stands and attached the buckets to them so that we had our structure to water the plants with. Then we prepped the living spaces for the plants. We filled 12 small pots with dirt and put 6 in one box and the other 6 in another box. One box will be the group of plants that we water lightly whereas the other will be the group of plants that we water heavily. Our group still has to plant the fast plants and decide upon how much water we will pour on each plant. So far the experiment is going pretty smoothly though. Below are some pictures of our progress...
