        We mixed the soil with water.  Then we filled each of the 8 pots with the soil and added 6 corn seeds and planted them 1 inch below the soil.  We left them and allowed them to germinate.

10/27/99
        We checked each of the 8 pots and watered them all.  There is no sign of growth yet.  But hopefully soon!!

10/28/99
        There is still no growth in our pots, we are getting worried that we suffocated our seeds.

10/29/99
        We are very worried we have killed our seeds because they have not even begun to grow.  We excavated seed and we have found that is absolutely no growth.  So we watered our seeds so they can survive over the weekend.  We will check our plants again on monday's class and we are hoping there will be some sign of growth.

        Yah!! We finally have growth over the weekend.  We have recorded the growth below:
We also watered all our plants after the weekend.

11/2/99
        Today we watered all our plants a little.  We have noticed more sprouts have grown up over the night.  Today we are setting up the lab so that each plant is under the amount of light we need to run our experiment.  Some bad news is that plant 1 from the 12 hour sporadic group has still not shown any growth.

11/3/99
        We checked our plants today, but we did not water them because they were too wet and matted down.  Tomorrow we will see if we should water them.

11/5/99
        We prepared our plants for the weekend by checking them to making sure they had enough water for the weekend.  Then we made sure they were all placed back under the proper light experiment.

11/9/99
        Today we have checked our plants and sprayed all the pots with a water mist because after the weekend they were dry.  Our group also took pictures of the plants with the digital camera.  Alyssa and Chelsea measured the plants again today. (see table on the next page)  The plants under all situations of light are doing well so far.  Things are running smooth for our experiment so far.

11/12/99
        There is a excellent amount of growth under the 4 hour light.  We think that the low growth under the 12 hour light is due to too much sunlight and it is over drying the plants so as of now the 4 hour light is producing the best growth.

11/14/99
        Once again we noticed how much growth the 4 hour lighted plants are having.  So we took pictures of our plants so we could visually show the difference between all our plants and how they are growing.
    Oh NO! We have some bad news our plants which are under the 12 hour sporadic light are missing! Gone! MIA (missing in action)! We are hoping we can find them soon.

11/19/99
        We watered all our plants because they needed water. After that we really didn't have time to do much more, so we put our experiments back together.

11/24/99
        We are very happy because our plants are looking very healthy.  We are pretty sure we will have a successful project.  Though we are worried that over the 4 day weekend our plants are going to be harmed by being dried out.  Also we are concerned with the great amount of bugs flying around our plants.  Also our pots has fungus growth.  We will check back after the long weekend.

12/1/99
        Today we are very depressed.  Our plants have met their death.  We feel this is due to the fact that over the long weekend the plants did not receive any water.  Also because of the fact that the light timers were tampered with.  We feel that our experiment has been successful up to this point.
