lol this is me, about 14 years old for biology class. We had to grow seeds in light and dark conditions. For a 14 year old, the fact that plants grow faster in dark conditions is quite counterintuitive, so the teacher had an easy time to find out who falsified their data. Great experiment
Instuctions unclear microwaved seeds. Plant no worky
There was a teacher who did that; anyone whose plant grew failed.
Is that true? I guess because the plant is seeking light?
Yeah, they’ll grow faster, but have less chlorophyll, iirc. You’ll get really long, pale pants.
Know as getting “leggy” in gardening terms. Generally means the plant will fail as the stalk is to thin to support it as it ages and is exposed to wind and weather.
Just did this, growing seeds in light and dark, with some first graders. Blew their little minds.
Opening the box with the seeds that were in the dark for a week and seeing the sprouts all yellow, tall and grown towards a tiny little hole that no one noticed, the excitement was crazy.
“Nope!” slams, locks door
Older siblings always gotta help out with the homework, the tradition lives on.
I was always on the big brother side of this. My favorite was when my younger brother suddenly remembered they had to build a model of an imaginary animal and write a report on it the night before the due date. We stayed up while I built a model out of paper with a K’Nex skeleton and we talked about the stuff that he could write about it.
I thought it was all really scuffed and rushed but somehow he got an A
