Hello bloggers! Over the last few weeks, I have been reporting and documenting my science experiment I have done. my experiment is on capillary action, and the possibilities and boundaries of it. I'm experimenting with flowers and the things they can live on, in my case, fizzy drink. I had 3 bunches. one in blue food coloured water, one in the sprite, and one in coca-cola. they would be in there in the same conditions for 4 days. would the plants survive? or would they die? would they even drink the fizzy drinks?
I documented my experiment on Minecraft education edition. here are some pictures or the IRL experiment, and some observation by me. (In no order)
On Day 1 we put the three daffodil bunches in the liquids, Coke, Sprite, and food coloured water. We took a picture of the measurements and the flowers before anything had happened. After this, the flowers barely changed after a few hours of being put in the glasses. Overnight the change started. The main change was that the flowers in the blue food coloured water had changed to hints of blue on the rims of the white flowers. Apart from that, not much else happened.
Day 2
On day 2 some changes on all started to happen. The coca-cola flower was slowly starting to get smaller, though no apparent colour change had happened. The water flower was getting bluer and when touched, it felt sandpapery and rough.
Day 3
On day 3 the first apparent changes had happened on coca-cola. The flower was smaller and withered, and the coca-cola had barely been consumed although it had changed. The sprite looked alright actually, and it felt as it was at the start. The blue flower continued to get very blue and sandpapery and had drunk a lot of the water.
On day 4 the final results were recorded. The blue food coloured water flower is extremely blue, and nearly an inch of water down the side has been drunk. The sprite flower is best off, being able to live off the sugar and other ingredients. At the start of the experiment, I was curious to see the sprite flower at the end since I knew that a little bit of lemonade would lengthen the life, but the sheer amount of sprite would overload it and kill it I did not know.
In the end, it was a very fun and interesting experiment.

ReplyDeleteYour work is very good and you did well to keep it up for four days, you really did a great job at writing it and I found it clear and easy to read.
Good job :)
