Wisconsin Fast Plants


In school we have been growing some Wisconsin Fast Plants. But before all of this we had to make what we were going to put the seeds in. So we broke up into groups of two-five people and set to work. What we needed was a one or a two liter bottle, the bottle cap, a wick, and scissors. The first thing that we did was cut the bottle one centimeter below the shoulder. The second step was to poke a hole in the bottle cap, so we could thread the wick through it. After we had done this we put the wick in the cap and screwed the cap on. In the bottom section of the bottle we put water and the top we put soil, and then with the cap facing downwards we put the top inside the bottom making sure that the wick is in both sides evenly. After all this we placed four seeds in the top layer of dirt, hence the name of these plant they grew very quickly and since the first day of this each group has been keeping a journal of what the plants are up too.  (by Alex V.)

  1. Do you make sketches in your journal? That would be an interesting way to keep track of the plant growth and changes.
