| Bean Plant Experiment #1 | ||
| These results are based on the first attempt at this project... the following attempts all failed | ||
| Control Plant | Artificial Sugar Plant | "Real Sugar" Plant |
| grew and sprouted normally | grew and sprouted "upside down" (roots first) soil was not rich- it had a white, powdery residue on the surface | No results available (did not sprout due to some interferences) |
| Bean Plant Experiment #2: Bean Plants in Petri Dishes | ||
| Measurements (approx.) Before Commencing Experiment | ||
| Control Bean | "Real" Sugar Bean | Artificial Sugar Bean |
| 12.0 cm | 6.5 cm | 8.75 cm |
| Bean Plant Experiment #2: Bean Plants in Petri Dishes | |||
| Approximate Measurements After Commencing Experiment | |||
| Date | Control Bean | "Real" Sugar Bean | Artificial Sugar Bean |
| April 3 | 13.0 cm | 6.5 cm | 8.75 cm |
| April 4 | 14.5 cm | 6.5 cm | 8.5 cm |
| Bean Plant Experiment #2: Bean Plants in Soil | |||
| Date | Control Bean | "Real" Sugar Bean | Artificial Sugar Bean |
| April 3 | NO APPARENT CHANGES | ||
| April 4 | Slightly shrivelled | Both very shrivelled | |
| April 5 | One plant has grown 1 cm | Both very shrivelled | |
| Daphnia Experiment | ||
| These results are based on all attempts to this project | ||
| Control Daphnia | Artificial Sugar Daphnia | "Real" Sugar Daphnia |
| Original no. Of heartbeats before testing= 132 b/m No. of heartbeats after placed in sugarless, distilled water for 5 min.= 108 b/m Decreased 24b/m | Original no. Of heartbeats before testing= 104 b/m No. of heartbeats after placed in artificial sugar solution for 5 min.= 148 b/m Increased 44b/m | Original no. Of heartbeats before testing= 68 b/m No. of heartbeats after placed in "real" sugar solution for 5 min.= 144 b/m Increased 76b/m |
| Daphnia Experiment | ||
| Postmortem Examination | ||
| Control Daphnia | Artificial Sugar Daphnia | "Real" Sugar Daphnia |
| The bodies were in fragments Decomposition state | The bodies "internal organs" seemed to be intact The outside protective membrane appeared "frizzled" looking | The bodies were in a fairly good state of "preservation" |
| Radish Seed Experiment | ||
| Control Seeds | Artificial Sugar Seeds | "Real" Sugar Seeds |
| Sprouted on Day 3 of experiment Grew quickly Fast growth rate Quite long in length | 1/3 radish seeds sprouted Slow growth rate Last set of radishes to sprout | 1/3 radish seeds sprouted Slow growth rate Second set of radishes to sprout |
