Flower's-Life_Tyler_Kathleen


 * Does adding sugar to the life of freshly cut flowers prolong the flower's life?**

Our hypothesis for this project is that the flowers in the jar with three tablespoons of sugar in it will life the longest. The flowers in that jar will live the longest, because flowers use glucose (sugar) for energy therefor the flowers will have the most amount of energy to use for a longer life span.

For our experiment we took four jars and added 350ml. of water to each. Then we added three tablespoons of sugar to one jar, two to the next, and one to the third. There was one jar that had only water in it. We added three Gerber Daisies to each jar. We left the flowers in their jars for two weeks. We took them out of their jars and gave each flower a rating on a scale of numbers one though five. ( We made the scale.) Then we threw the flowers away.

In the end the flowers that had two or three tablespoons of sugar lives the longest. The flowers with water or one tablespoon of sugar died the fastest. The more sugar that was added to the water gave the flower the extra energy to live longer.

The advice that we would give to someone doing this same experiment is to take lots of pictures and to record observations throughout every day of your experiment.

If anyone wanted to do this experiment in the future they should do the experiment for three weeks instead of two so they could see very distinct changes of the flower's life.

We would not have wanted again because our experiment wasn't the best. We would have rather wanted to do //Which Fertilizer Makes Plants Grow the Tallest?// because that seemed like a very fun experiment.
