Wheat Seeds Switch

What differences did you notice between each of your plants?  How did plants always grown in the light compare to the ones switched to the light?  How did plants always grown in the dark compare to those switched to the dark?  What conclusions can you make about plants from this experiment?

    The wheat that was switched from dark to light was filling up with chlorophyll but hadn't completely finished. The control for light stayed completely the same filled with chlorophyll. The one switched from light to dark still had most of it's chlorophyll in it except for the bottom where the new growth was brown. The control for dark stayed the same with no chlorophyll in it.

    I noticed when we switched the dark grown plants and light grown plants the light grown plants started turning yellow and the dark grown plants turning green.The light grown plants turned unhealthy when we switched them and when the dark grown plants were switched they turned healthy. The one switched to the light now looks the same as the one that was always in the light. The same thing happened to the dark because the one switched to the dark started turning yellow and the one that was always in the dark was yellow and white. The conclusions I could make to this experiment is that when you switch a plant from pitch black to very light or very bright to pitch black it will adapt to the changes and it would either make it be more healthy or less healthy. That is my conclusions for this experiment. This was an amazing project!

  3. Today we learned what would happen if we switched one dark plant to the light and one light to the dark.

  4. I noticed that the dark to light ones became green and was extremely moist and the ones that were light and stayed in light were not as moist. The light to dark ones stayed green but there was a hint of yellowish-white and the dark that stayed in the dark was a yellow white mess of sprouts they both were moist.

  5. For our group I saw that the light to dark mostly stayed green but at the bottom I saw it was whitish yellow and grew to be about 35 centimeters. The ones that switched to the light were yellow and green but it looked like it was getting a lot healthier. The ones that were always in the light just stayed all green and grew to be about 33 centimeters. The ones that stayed in the dark got more whitish yellow and grew to about 32 centimeters.

    I think the ones always grown in the light looked more healthier than the plants switched to the light is because the ones always grown in the light had more time to produce more food or chlorophyll than the ones in the dark. I think the ones always grown in the dark looked more tangled and white compared to the ones switched from the light is because the dark plants have NEVER got ant sunlight while the light got some sunlight before we switched. After a while, I think the switched plants will look the same as the dark grown plants.All the plants had different textures and different colors from each other. My conclusion about plants is that the more deprived they are from sunlight they will turn yellower, whiter, frailer, and get tangled.

    I noticed that Dark plants that switched to the Light had most of the plants green and Light plants that switched to the Dark had some yellow in the stem area. The plants that started in the light and stayed in the light stayed the same, but the one that started in the light and switched to the Dark fell to the side a bit and changed color a bit. The plants that started in the Dark and stayed in the Dark were yellow and silver and were pretty short, but the plants that started in the Dark and switched to the Light are mostly green and they were taller than when they started in the Dark. I can conclude that the plants that started in the Dark and switched to the Light are doing better than the plants that started in the Light and changed to the Dark. This is a really fun project!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. The light to dark plants are green and tall, and they are turning white at the bottom. The control light plants have a lot of green sprouts that are tangled. The dark to light plants have barely any sprouts, and they are yellowish brown. The control dark plants were starting to turn white and they were all tangled. The control light plants had a lot of green sprouts which were tangled, while the dark to light plants are green and tall. The control dark plants were starting to turn white and they were all tangled, while the light to dark plants have a lot of green and tall sprouts and the bottoms of the stems are starting to turn white. I concluded from this experiment that sunlight isn't the most important thing that plants need to survive. -Sebastian A.

  9. I noticed that the plants were different because of the colors they had. The ones that were always in the light and are still in the light have a yellow tip but the other plants did not. The plants grown in the dark were shorter while the plants grown in the light were taller.

    The plants that have always grown in the light stayed green but did get a yellow tip to them. The ones that switched to the light had some yellow and some green. The ones grown in the dark had more yellow to them than the ones that started growing in the light.

    The plants that were always grown in the dark stayed yellow/white and the ones that switched to the dark were starting to turn yellow but still had a bit of green to them.

    My conclusion is that if you switch a plant that has grown in the light to the dark it would ultimately become yellow and white. If we had had more time I think we would have been able to see this more. And also if you switch a plant that is grown in the dark to the light that it would turn green over time. Had we had more time to observe the dark to light I think we would have all of the plants be green. Having plants grown in the light allows them to be healthier because they can go through photosynthesis so that way they produce food which helps them live.

    I noticed that the top of Light to Dark were yellow and the color is sorta changing. Then I noticed that the Dark to Light color was changing fast. The light to dark was unhealthy because it needs sunlight to make it a healthy plant. I noticed that the color was changing slower from light to dark compared to dark to light. The dark to light is so much healthier the one that stayed dark. In conclusion I think that the plants can still grow without sunlight but the plant is not healthy. I can also say that switching the plants they will just keep changing colors.

  11. I noticed that the light to dark was sort of getting sick. The light plants bottom was turning brown/yellow. The dark to light was a whole lot better in results. The pale dark plant,was now turning into a green plant. Yeeeeeepy!

  12. The dark one that was switched to light got healthier but started to fall down. The ones that stayed in the light were the healthiest because they got plenty of food. The light ones that were switched to the dark quickly became unhealthy because all the seed have grown so there was no food left. The one that stayed in the dark remained unhealthy. I learned that sunlight is extremely important for a plants health.

    The differences I noticed between the plants were the color and moisture. The plants that changed from light to dark were yellow at the tips, but, mostly had green. The light to light is green and yellow. The dark to light is green and healthier than when it was in the dark. The dark to dark had always been the same. It is completely yellow at the top and has little white at the bottom. The only plant that had difference in moisture was the light to light plant. The dark to light one was green because of finally getting to use photosynthesis. However, the light to light is running out of water because of photosynthesis. This experiment helped us learn about the plants and what happens in these particular situations.

  14. I noticed that the light to dark plants where fine but might die soon because we changed to the dark. The dark to light plants seem to be growing better and making some chlorophyll now that they have sunlight.The plants that were always in the dark were yellow and leggy constantly searching for light.
    I think with this experiment we are proving how important sunlight is for plants.

  15. The difference that I found between the 2 plants were that most of the time, dark plans always was yellow
    or silver. (the beginning was always yellow but it turned silver. The plants grown in the dark and switched to the light probably said "Hey, I got some sun. YAY!!!!!" And started producing chlorophyll so then it looked healthy. The dark ones that were always in the dark stayed in the same status while the ones that were switched to the dark was still green from staying in the sun. The conclusions that I could make is that the dark plants can still grow pretty tall but not as tall and healthy as the ones that were in the light.
