| Explore | So far we have learned that there are 2 types of angiosperms: monocot and dicot. Monocots have straight veins with blade like leaves in multiples of threes. They have a fibrous root system with only one cotyledon, in the stem the vascular bundles are scattered. Dicots on the other hand, have webbed like veins with 4 -5 leaves. They have a taproot system with two cotyledon and in the stem the vascular bundles are in a ring shape. We have also talked a little about xylem and phloem. Xylem helps transport the water to the leaves. Phloem brings the food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. First the water needs to be absorbed through the roots, then it moves through the cells till it makes it to the center. That's the process of the xylem and the phloem. |

| Research Question | Question: Would adding spices to the water affect the growth of the plant? |
| Predictions | Our prediction for this project is that the salt is going to help it grow faster. |
| Experimental Design | Procedures: Put soil in the cup. Make a hole in the soil and place 10 seeds in. Cover it up with soil. Water it with one teaspoon of the spice. Repeat x4. Leave it overnight. Check it the next day. Water it . Measure it. Repeat x4. Repeat steps 6-9 over the amount of days. |
