How Light Effects Plants

By Stephan Simeone Michael Bousquet Alison Van Hemelrijck

Welcome to the Biology I Accelerated "How Light Effects Plants" webpage. This site will explain the differences between natural and artificial light-primarily incandescent and fluorescent lighting and their effect on plants. Also, an in depth look at how much light a plant needs will be provided, and we will investigate if plants can thrive and grow in total daylight of each kind of artificial light. All information from our project can be found from the links on the menu below, further below are their descriptions. Turn up your speakers to hear the fantastic music!

Brief Discription of each menu item:
