Hi Team,

 

Thank you for the file update. The image is blurry but I can help if you tell me a little bit about what is written in the paper.

Hi Team,

Both questions as very interesting and could give you really cool results. 

When thinking about these different projects consider the logistics at the same time as the questions. If you want to do the different plants and carbon dioxide, do you have access to all of the plants and materials? Could you be able to have an easy to measure response variable when doing the different treatments? For example, amount of bubbles the different plant produce, or if the leaf floats or not. Also, which one is your treatment, the different plant types or the amount of carbon dioxide available? One treatment might be best. 

The same applies for the light experiment, do you have access to lights that emit different spectrum of light? What would be your response variable to compare the different light treatments? Will the two days be enough to have a response from the plants?

 

If after considering all those possibilities you find that there is one questions that you might find more viable, I suggest you go for that one.

 

Keep me posted what you decide.

Hi Team,

 

Yes, plants absorb energy in the light spectrum that is violet blue or red (430nm and 662nm).

 

Now, think what region of the light spectrum are black light?

For your experiment, always keep in mind to use tree plants per treatment to be able to have replication.
