Spore Squad

Project by group hatkosmoskifall2022

Explore We know that plants photosynthesis and grow with sun and water. Plants also give oxygen. They use carbon dioxide.
Research Question Why does temputare affect plants? Why is it green? How long does it take to change? Does anything else change that we don't know yet?
Predictions I think that the spores will continue to grow nicely, but in a hot temperature, I don't think our shpores would be doing too well.
Experimental Design On Day #1 we had to sterilize our hands and gloves and get the spores inside of a small container and we had to make sure that their temperature wasn't above 30 degrees or the spores would die. Then we let them sit for a week in the right temperature. On day #2 we found out our spores were about 25 degrees and we experimented with the temperature. On Day #3 we looked through microscopes and a digital microscope to see what the spores looked like from the inside using a water slide and it looks like the spores are pretty healthy.
