Science Experiment - Day Eight
Right now eleven out of twenty-four beans have sprouted. All three from Lipton Tea, two from Tap Water, one from Aquarium H2O, two from Milk, and the other three from Instant Coffee have sprouted. Still not any from orange juice, tropical punch, or lemonade yet. If you are wondering how tall the plants are, I cannot take measurements because the plants just sprouted and have not stood up straight yet. As soon as the beans are standing up straight, I will take measurements then. For now, everyone has to wait to see which liquid helps the beans grow best.

Science Experment - Day Seven
My plants finally sprouted! Well, only six out of twenty-four but still that is good! The first one that had sprouted was Lipton Tea. The second and third one was Tap Water, fourth was the Aquaruim H2O, the fifth one was surprisingly milk, and the last one was Instant Coffee. None from the Orange Juice, Tropical Punch, or Lemonade have sprouted yet but I do wonder if they will or will not. The tallest plant right now is the one with Lipton Tea so maybe that one will work the best, who knows? Well this is good news and now I don't have to tell you any more boring stuff on this blog for the rest of my life! Joy. Well have a good day and good bye.

Science Experiment - Day Six + Earth Day!
Nothing grew still. It is so boring. Anyway happy Earth Day! The day we take care of our planet yay! So what are you doing for earth day? Saving water, saving electricity, not littering, or all of those and more? Did you know the first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970? I sure didn't know that. Here are some tips for you to keep the earth healthy!
That is all for today. Good bye and happy Earth day!
- Plant lots of trees, flowers, and other plants as well to keep the Earth green!
- Save water. After you are done using the sink, hose, or other things, turn the water off.
- Save electricity. Turn off all tvs, computers, and lights if not in use.
- Do not litter or pollute. Pick up garbage or recycle items so the earth won't be buryed in waste.
- Instead of using paper or plastic bags when carrying items from the store, use a reusable bag.
That is all for today. Good bye and happy Earth day!

Science Experiment - Day Five
Guess what happened today? Nothing still BUT I did find something interesting on the plants that have been watered by milk.
On my previous blog, I mention that milk spoils and do you know what happened? There is now these fuzzy white hyphae (mold) on top of the soil. What was even weirder is that when I poured milk on it today (I watered the plants today) is that the milk stays on top of the mold and not completely soaked into the dirt. The only one thing I am worried about is that the mold doesn't spread to every plant in the tray or else the whole experiment will be ruined and so will my project.
Well that is all the stuff that has happen and since tomorrow is the day when the plants might sprout, that might happen and then I will have more to talk about. My prediction on the milk soaked seeds is that they will not grow or grow well so good bye for now. Also, I will have the pictures of the hyphae on the dirt in the pics page as soon as possible.
