Greenhouse Report- Jeffrey 7C

Reports- December 3rd


Farmer's Report-
The farmer realized that the plants didn't receive enough sunlight. If a plant doesn't get the enough sunlight, they end up getting smaller than we expected them to be. The problem was that the tall plants that has wide leaves were covering the sunlight that the smaller plants needed. As a result, the engineers found out a way to fix this problem.

Engineer's Report- As we stated it in the farmer's report, some plants were not getting enough sunlight from, so we decided to use foil wrappers. We made 2 rectangles out of foil wrappers that are about 15 cm tall. Then, you put it on both sides of  the plant. When the sunlight hits the tall foil, it would make a reflection towards the plant. With this, the plant can obtain more sunlight from before. There was another problem in the Vertical System. On the bottom of the bottle there was another leak. We realized that the hole on the cap was too large for the tube to cover, so there were drips of water coming out. First, we tried putting scotch tape around the tube and make the hole block up.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out so well. This time we tried the electric tape and it still didn't work. We finally found out the solution by using glue-gun and covering the hole.



Research Biologist's Report- As we mentioned in the farmer's report, some plants didn't receive enough sunlight. The less the sunlight, the shorter the plant would be. Photosynthesis when the plant makes food from the sunlight, but if they don't get sunlight, it's same as not giving the plant it's food. If we leave the small plants alone, they are going to eventually die and we don't want that to happen. That is why we decided to make those rectangular foil to make the plants get enough sunlight and grow healthy.
