This Week In Science #2

1) This week in science we played with poppers and began our second plant investigation. On Tuesday we played with the poppers and did some observations. Some of the poppers were small and some of them were really big. We talked about dependent and independent variables. Then the next day, Wednesday, we planted brassica rapa in three cups. My groups question for this plant investigation is "How does the amount of light affect the brassica rapa's height?" Our independent variable is light and our dependent variable is the height of the brassica rapa.

2) This week in science I learned about the brassica rapa. The brassica rapa is a dicot. It has several different names it can be identified as. The brassica rapa grows better in moist areas and well fertilized areas. The brassica rapa is also used as a remedy, folk medicine. People believe it helps in curing breast, and skin cancer. To be used to help you have to boil the roots with lard. It is also occasionally suspected for poising pigs and sheep. I also learned a few things about the poppers. You can change the independent variable and that will affect and change the result of your experiment.
