Can Plants Move?

With this experiment we want to see if plants can move because they want to. This could be caused by the interaction of plants with the sun, because they are living things and they interact with the environment. We will put the carrots upside down and see if the leaves grow on their normal direction or if they grow up looking for the sun.

Materials: One carrot with leaves, a small spoon, a wooden stick  and thread .

1. Cut 3-4 cm from the top of the carrot and cut the leaves leaving 2 cm of them attached to the carrot.

2. With the spoon empty the inside a bit { carefully }.

3. Push the stick through the carrot .

4. Hang the carrot with the leaves down with the thread .

5. Water it inside the hole and observe for a week.

Conclusion:  Our carrots died because at the weekend no one was in the school to water them, but we could see how some leaves that had just started growing, were growing up following the sun.
