This week in science #2

  This week in science we did plant investigation #2 background information and plant investigation #2 experiment setup. For plant investigation #2 background information we researched facts on  Brassica rapa. We also made wonderings and questions we have on Brassica rapa. I learned that Brassica rapa is a type of crucifer. A crucifer is another word for cruciferous which is a use of brassicaceae as food. Crucifer is a type of vegetable family. In the vegetable family there is cauliflower, cabbage, cress, bok choy, broccoli and similar green leaf vegetables like brassica rapa. Another fact I learned is that Brassica rapa's kingdom is Plantae.
         For plant investigation #2 experiment setup we worked with our group and put down any questions we gave that are independent variables and dependent variables. My questions were :

1. How does changing the amount of water affect Brassica rapa's time of growth ?
2. How does changing the amount of soil affect Brassica rapa's height ?
3. How does changing the number of seeds affect Brassica rapa's amount of period they grown ?

The question my group and I ( Monsters Inc. ) : How does the amount of sunlight affect Brassica rapa's height ? 
When we did our plant investigation we put two cups onto the plant row and one cup at the window to test out how much different does the plants grow with the amount of sunlight.
