Updates and What I Did In Class Today

Since the last time I posted, I have gotten the following done:

I have seen my Elodea and determined that I will be putting one strand of Elodea (about 5 in. long) in a test tube, and will be using two test tubes per box. Each box will have a UV light in it which will be exposed for 2 hours, or 7 hours. So, in box 2H (two hours) I will have a test tube rack holding two test tubes of Elodea. In box 7H (seven hours) I will have another test tube rack also containing two test tubes of Elodea. The lamp in each box will be turned on at 7:50 in the morning, 2H being turned off and exposed to regular sunlight for the Elodea to continue photosynthesis and 7H being turned off at 2:50 in the afternoon and exposed to regular sunlight.
I'm not sure yet about the regular sunlight- can they use photosynthesis with UV light instead of regular light? Will they die faster? These are important questions.
I will be sharing these two boxes with Emma Hart. Her experiment will not interfere with mine. We plan to begin our experiment in two days. Today in class, we prepared our two cardboard boxes for our Elodea by taping down the insides, and I worked on my planning sheet.
