1. In the past week I have begun to notice many things about our plant. First off, our plant is not growing as well as we hoped. When we compare it to other plants in our class, ours is probably the smallest. Also, our plant is half eaten so there are clearly bugs eating our plant.
2.Our plants take in water to grow, and that is the part they play in the water cycle. Because they take in water, our plant clearly must have not gotten enough water this past week because it was not growing as well as others.
3.Plants release carbon into the air through plant respiration, so our plant is contributing to the carbon cycle. I have a feeling that our plant doesn't release enough carbon to be productive because it is probably dying.
4. Plants consume nitrates through their roots. Our plant seems to be dying, which means it is probably not consuming nitrates properly. If our plant was stronger it would give a stronger contribution to the nitrogen cycle.
