Science Project

[milesofsmiles]

I got this one... First you take one of those transformer thingy's from the tv and attach it you your son/daughter. Then grab the remote control and keep switching until you find a show you like. Like a nice "Leave it to Beaver" episode.

Maybe ion beams might help too.

Too complicated:

TELL THEM NOT TO DO IT ;D ;D ;D

:DOur first plant is coming up!!!! The blue lightithas a very small shoot showing!! Something will work. I am taking pictures of everything so we can make the poster.

;)Good luck,. Mikey is growing beans in his class room for a science thing in April or May....he started to get disappointed, his is the biggest-sprout, but it doesn't have the most leaves. ;D ;D ;D

Think what you want ;D ;D ;DI know I about busted a gut when he said it ;D ;D ;D

Well the project is over today and the Blue light Wins!!! The 2 plants under the blue light are the tallest and have the most leaves! (Has to do with light waves I think) Have taken lots of pictures and detailed notes. We will see what kind of grade we get!

these are a list of wave lengths and how they effect photosynthesis, they are ofcoarse listed in nanometers because someone decided to change the unit of measurement i think or maybe i dont know what i am talking about. i grew up with Angstrom units but i think they are the exact same. an angstrom being a length equal to one hundred-millionth (10-8) of a centimeter, and a nanometer being One billionth (10-9) of a meter. anyway you probably already know this stuff but i thought i would mention it just in case.

200 - 280 nm UVC ultraviolet range which is extremely harmful to plants because it is highly toxic.

280 - 315 nm Includes harmful UVB ultraviolet light which causes plants colors to fade.

315 - 380 nm Range of UVA ultraviolet light which is neither harmful nor beneficial to plant growth

380 - 400 nm Start of visible light spectrum. Process of chlorophyll absorption begins.

400 - 520 nm This range includes violet, blue, and green bands. Peak absorption by chlorophyll occurs, and a strong influence on photosynthesis.

520 - 610 nm This range includes the green, yellow, and orange bands and has less absorption by pigments.

610 - 720 nm This is the red band. Large amount of absorption by chlorophyll occurs, and most significant influence on photosynthesis.

720 - 1000 nm There is little absorption by chlorophyll here. Flowering and germination is influenced. At the high end of the band is infrared

1000+ nm Totally infrared range. All energy absorbed at this point is converted to heat.

all this info is on the net along with some pretty neat stuff about squirrels, i lived in central illinois at one time in my youth and we had albino squirrels they were pretty neat, and there are lots of them in olney illinois. cant huck a rock around there without hitting one which you wont because they are protected with severe fines and stuff that go with it.
have a good one

:)Thanks Daniel! Thi explains a lot. We will get on the net this weekend when the things get written up.

WE GOT 198/200 POINTS!!!!!!
I guess being a little too particular paidoff. They liked the pictures I took and the journal entries Dd wrote. The really fussy mom hasn't said anything to me yet but we try not to talk to each other if we can help it. She went through a bad divorce and lost her job and is having MAJOR control issues so I stay out of her way. This will make major improvements in our science grade!

Mom and I did the same experiment when I was back in JH.

You wanna talk about people making you look bad, one of my friends built a jet engine with no moving parts in his driveway and took it to international science fair in HS.
